The challenge thread!

Thanks Gadabout.  Norm has a nice one tied on his site, I loosely copied his.  

Might as well stay with streamers, surprised this one was not on the list, unless I missed it.  

Next Challenge: Grizzly King, any variation.

Norm, Loved the Golden Darter and Grizzly King

Niveker,  Great shiner, I tied up a few but also got lazy and used peel and stick eyes in place of painting them.  

 

I'll take the James Woods Bucktail

Thanks Heff2 - I tied up a coupla three more last night and did end up painting eyes on all of them.  I'll post some photos later - it does make a huge different in their appearance, but I'm not at all convinced the fish care.   

 

That bonus grizzly king is SWEET!  I may have to try my hand at one.

Norm, I highly doubt that but I know there’s a few guys on the forum who are deer hair masters, hopefully one of them will pick it up.
