Some more Fuzzy Autos - Rubber Chicken

A few weeks ago I was tying up some Fuzzy Auto jigs (based on LedHed's Auto pattern) when I had an idea.  Change up the colors, and go with electric chicken colors.

This is the result:



I've taken to calling it the "Rubber Chicken".

Last night, I took my kayak out to harrass the 'gills with this jig, tipped with a waxworm, until it got dark, then switch over to minnows under a float for Crappie.  Well, I did catch a few sunfish with this pattern.

But, I probably would have caught more, if I had stayed with the Fuzzy Auto that I've done up in Olive.  The fish are still keying on nymphs, and now dun mayflies.  The Hex Hatch is on!  I caught my first hatch last night, and I didn't even have a fly rod in my kayak when it happened.

I think I know where I'll be the next night before a day off

Those are very nice. Great pics.

Nice looking jig and awesome pics of the water you fish.

Nice buggy looking jigs! Pardon my ignorance but why are they called an Auto jig or am I reading it wrong? Thanks.

The original "Auto Jig" is something that one of this forum's co-founders ties. It's a tapered thread-body, with rubber legs sticking out near the head and out the back. I'm not sure why it's called an "Auto" jig. Maybe because the fish automatically get caught?

Nice-looking ties, results, and sunset. :icon14: :icon14:
