Thought I would try this fly pattern but add a jig head. RonDon makes the perfect head for this!

I stumbled across that on ohio fly tying site also. Since I did not have any bohemian chenille I tried using ultra chenille and came up with a small black leech. Will post pix of my " leechey " creation. Right now enjoying my morning coffee and nothing gets done until 3rd cup is down the hatch.
I do believe the unusual use of the chenille opens up a new jar of possibilities. After tying my " leechey " I experimented with a couple styles of " minner " imitations. THey turned out not so hot but I did order some of that bohemian stuff to play with. I plan on tying both weighted and unweighted versions to play with. Would think they would produce on crappie if tied in the 2-2 1/2
overall lengh range.
Len - That ther Ron Don guy he shore do make some useful stuff don't he ? By the way love the way your jig turned out .

Len,
Nice adaptation of a fly pattern. I really like your result. Your jig looks very good to me. :icon14:
Number 5 and 6 chenilles are interesting to work with I think. Use them a lot for my bass jigs. I sometimes wonder if fashion designers ever consider that their end product might be used in the design of fishing lures. :huh: :jig:
