As said above ALL the flies for January look great, a lot of fish will be fooled.

I don't know about hellgrammites, Bo ... but THAT thing will scare the little fish away, so only the big ones will eat it.

My attempt on a hellgrammite.

Awesome hellgrammite Powershooter. Do you have a materials list or even better SBS? That fly really looks the part. Nice work.

Made it for those channel cats Mike . I can work on a SBS . Just made it yesterday, didn't have a recipe. It's a product of tinkering , lol . Thanks.

Cheers Powershooter. Take your time. Got a lot of great ideas from your pics especially your choice of hook, biots and hackle. I'm going to try and incorporate some of that into my existing patterns and feed em to smallmouth come early spring.

It is a curved shank. Not sure of the make but I think id is a JStockard brand hook.

Johnny, that is one beautiful fly. One of my favorites for our jumbo seatrout.

Mine are no where near as nice as yours but they are effective gator getters.

Would love to field test it for you but unfortunately a nasty algae bloom last spring did terrible things to our fish populations in the Indian River lagoon.

Hoping this spring and summer are better than last year.
