Some 25 cent double bunnies in a small size #2 SC15 hook for salt. A bit messy, but oh well they are for fishing.

I really like how they 'wriggle and undulate' in the water, these are for darker conditions.

They don't look messy to me, beautiful simplicity! Now, after you fish them, they may get messy from the fish that will eat them.

 

Nice ties,

Kirk

Thanks Kirk! It's just that goop and tear mender can get a bit messy around rabbit, be interesting to see how long the eyes stick on as there is no cauterization or holes for them to sit in, they are just gooped right on.

 

Simple quick tie, will use in salt around low light and even darkness.

You guys should figure it out soon enough, there are a couple of ways to do it. 1, is to upload to a photo-sharing site and use the IMG codes.

 

The other very easy way to do it is to use the attachments box seen when you make a post...Browse for the pic, hit 'Attach This File', now once it is attached you will see 'Add to Post'. Click this, and it will be your attachment, very kool!

Sweet popper Bluegill!

Thanks. They do take a lot of time and patience. With most flies you tie it and are done but with poppers you have to wait for each coat of paint or varnish to dry and then finally get to tail it and call it finished.

palmered nymph, should be attached this time.

Try using the "preview post" button to check if the image shows up before you hit "add reply"

To insert an image link, use the "insert image" button (photo looking thing 2 buttons to the right of the smiley face button). To insert a file, use the "choose file" button at the bottom of the text editor window and don't forget to attach the file after you upload.
