Hey Rich

Good to meet you as well

Can you message me your info and how to contact you.

I meant to get back to your table to get some materials but time and hunger  had us out the door about 2:30 and we still had a 2+ hour drive.

You can use the message function on the Forum Board.

ned rig has been popular for bass . ned fly is just a fly tied to act the same.  ned rigs have a mushroom shaped head to stand the plastic up.  i can see a havasu ned fly in orange and green

Here's a pick of the material under the chenille on the Ned Rig fly that richmce developed to mimic the Ned Rig.

Questions should be directed to him as I am just the messenger.

The chenille is  lil bunny yarn from premier and those look like Silli legs but rich can confirm.

Here's another picture of the fly and a picture of what's underneath, I'll let richmce fill in any other details or recommendations.

Bass and bluegill and Crappie are stables of my fly fishing, as I am envious of all you trout/steelhead/salmon fly fishers.

I am 3+ hours away from trout that aren't stockers  and I would move closer but then I would be 3+ hours away from the kids and grand-kids.

Got um, thanks. Ya gotta have your priorities. If you'd rather have grand kids than good trout fishing, that's your cross to bear. 😁 I would too. Maybe they would move with you.
