Heavy jig hook version of a little bugger (I call them soft hackle buggers) I like to fish in East TN tailwaters.

Red Dart with a squirrel dubbing collar.

Thanks, Mike. I fished the blue damsel a little on Sunday and the panfish approved. It was a pretty successful debut.

It's a Fly Fish Food pattern they call the Grumpy Frumpy.

Got a little sloppy with color placement. I hadn't done these in a while.

Wow those streamers look fishy. What are the materials? Hook: B10S size 6 Tail: Kiley's Thin Finz (small) Body: diamond braid Flash: lateral scale Wing: craft fur (gray over white) Head: 4mm Fish Mask

That diver is HOT.

This. ^^^ I've had hit or miss results buying everywhere but from Pat Cohen, where it's been all hits.

My vote is the Murdich Minnow. You can make it more complicated and two/three tone the colors (like I usually end up doing) but you can tie them in solid colors, it's a 5-minute fly, pretty durable, easy to cast, and catches bass like crazy.

K.I.S.S.
