pinhead panfish fly

In the Autumn 2008 Fly Tyer Mag, pg 18 and 19. I saw a fly that I thought would work great for Bluegill. Me being a beginner, it looked like something I could do...

 

I found some 2mm glitter foam, turned out pretty good. I'll have to try it out tomorrow... The next few should be alot better.

I say that also in the Fly Tyer. I cut out the article for a one day I will. You tie looks good, let me know how you do with it.

The fly workes great, caught a few small bluegill, a couple small LG bass, then noticed I had a knot in my tippit but decided to keep fishing since all the fish were small. Then about 1 or 1 1/2 pound bass took the fly. Tippit broke at the knot.

 

 

 

I have to tie some more of these. They work great and act like a small frog on top of the water.

Here's Fishy Fullum tying the bass size version. The bluegill is a scaled down version of the bass fly.

Thank you. Does anyone tie this with regular 2mm craft foam besides tryingtofly?
