Guest Report post Posted January 20, 2004 *Recipies have been added to the database* They're on size 3 Jackson Spey hooks, and the original idea was drowning grasshopper. (I see that the picture came out kinda muted since I used the scanner. I'll take shots with the digi cam to replace this scan when I get time later.) Vote LBG!!

Guest Report post Posted January 20, 2004 It would be nice to find some warmwater applications for these type of flies so I really like the grasshopper idea Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'll try them in the rivers for Bass and in the lakes for Bass. I actually made the Gummi shrimp I was thinking of, but the picture didn't come out so well, plus I wanna make another to get the bugs out. It's a definite winner! Not because of me tying it, but because of the materials. More to come... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Report post Posted January 21, 2004 Nice first try! I remember my first attempts at salmon & spey, really awful. You're going to find out as you go on tying these flies that it becomes very addictive. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
