QK - weave looks good to me, can see it good enough. Your pick!

I bet the bass will eat that one, Russ!

How about a bluegill jig? Something buggy-looking.

 

[CrappieHappy]

never done a blue gill jig, this one gonna be Fugly!

 

[quivira kid]

Here's mine... 1/32 oz, gadwall flank tail with copper flash, and the chenille is dark brown/dark green with copper flash

I am tying one now and "chunk"ing it up. Shortening up the body, and double-wrapping it. I think it'll look better than what I posted.

 

[CrappieHappy]

here it is in all its fugliness....

 

[AtticaFish]

Dang Zac, you have me jumping from 1/8th to 1/64! haha!! Yours looks good, always like dark and copper/bronze colors for gills.

CH - sometimes a ripped-to-pieces jig or fly will catch more fish than a nice clean new one.... fugly just may be the ticket!

Body is dubbed craft fur and tail is a stripped zonker cut in 2.

 

[AtticaFish]

CH... you will be happily surprised - that jig will catch!

 

[CrappieHappy]

mine is a 1/32, but had no clue on blue gill... those are nice jigs guys!

 

[quivira kid]

Now I might have to play with THAT design on a fly tomorrow, Russ! Looks pretty cool... I just got a package in the mail today that had 400 beads in it.

 

[quivira kid]

CH, even though it may be fugly, it will catch some fish!
Here's a better pic of a better-tied jig. Proportions are way better and you can see colors in this pic...

 

[CrappieHappy]

[AtticaFish]

Hate to say it, but i am going to have to give up for the night... had fun! Take care!

 

[CrappieHappy]

[quivira kid]

I think I'm gonna clean up too. Good tying "with" you guys! Gotta yell at the TV here for a little bit and get my stuff packed to tie flies with some fellas tomorrow.
