Back to the foam froggie for gill season

[plateboater]

Rain and more rain in IL currently. Will be time real soon for the gills. I am using this style with a casting bobber about 4ft in front of the foam froggie (no lead wrap bellies on this style). You can go crazy on styles and they do work.

Those are cool... I'm assumin the dots are on the bottom of the fly?

 

[plateboater]

Jigman.......I put on both sides just because this little guy behind the cast bobber has a mind of it's own! Have both styles with or without dots. My buddy that I tie for dots everyone! We have not been in the boat together to see if we can have a pattern. Buddy fishes very clear strip mine lakes on the weekends where he has his camper.

What size hook? just to give us an idea as to the size of them.
And are you after bass or what can tell do to the lack of location on you profile.

Nice,I like them.

Pond Jumper.....using a generic eagle claw aberdeen 214a-6 light wire. So size of hook is #6. Will get better pic this evening for reference to size. Chasing gills. I hate the bass hitting them.

I like those a lot. Reminds me a little of Kermit...

Nice work and those will get the fish biting.

 

[AtticaFish]

Had the same exact thought with the shape of the head..... it ain't easy being green.

I like those a lot. Reminds me a little of Kermit...

Nice looking top water flies - bet the bass do hit them frequently. Are they 2 separate sheets of foam or is it the same foam sheet just folded over with a hole in the middle?

 

[plateboater]

Attica...two separate pieces. Usually start with bottom then work on top. Had a buddy wanting a few so we could trade. Headed out to the east coast soon. And yes the bass do eat them but can tear these little guys up quick!!!

Attached pic for reference size.

Pup's right, they do remind you of Kermit! Our bass and bream would smash em. Gonna show the design to a flyfishing mate.

Glad everyone liked. Have another design from a friend will try to post this weekend. Little different but easier to tie.
