Jig Hopper / Caddis Pattern

[AtticaFish]

Got messing around with some small heads in high hopes of finding some BG's, this is a 1/64, tried to put an elk hair caddis pattern on a jig. Actually pretty simple tie...

Brown thread
Black silicone skirt material for legs
Deer belly hair (not elk, i use this for spinning hair)

I changed the orig pattern some by putting the legs on because it had a very "hopperish" look to it. Will be giving it a test run this weekend if mother nature co-operates.

:idea: Just got to thinking... an all black version of this would make a decent cricket. Black spinning hair goes on my wish list....... May just have to give it a try with some hair from the base of a black buck tail, not as good as belly hair but does flair.

He sure looks buggy! And the legs are definitely a plus.

This jig should catch fish. I tie one that is also brown that I call a cockroach. Different pattern, but I have caught 150+ crappie on it this spring.......let me know how you did......

Love the Ty, I have some black belly hair but no black skirt. The fish will like that one.
