I had a strange request for a turtle fly . Never even thought about it before . So I decided to give it a shot for the guy . The end result after chewing it over in my mind was this . It's about 3/4 '' across and maybe 1'' across the shell . Total length is 2'' . Its made to resemble a mossy back soft shell turtle . I used a foam under body and rabbit fur . One of those just for giggles projects . View attachment 1View attachment 2

Sweet! There is some detail in that work :cool: How long did it take you to hatch your very own pet turtle? :P

30 minutes trying to find the stuff where I left it at last . 30 more to finish . Most of that time was spent using my mustache trimmers to shape the freak'in fur so it would have the shell taper across the back . That is not as easy as I thought it would be . Next time I trim the pelt before I make the lure . DUH! on my part.
