My attempt at some minnows

Recommended Posts

Hey Guys,

 

I attempted to make some baitfish, minnow things, i also got a cool picture i took the other night. its a cloud that looks like a mushroom cloud in a way, but i only got that one unfocused pic, and then my camera died.

 

I think i will name the green/yellow one John Deere King, and the red/black one Baitfish From Hell

 

i used mardi gras beads for the eyes, and deer bucktail for the skirt

Those will work well, but if you are looking to get the action of a clouser I suggest using barbell eyes so you can get a little more action going on. Here is a picture of some clousers that I tyed up a while ago, been so long since I've tyed any though just dont have the motivation to now.........

Yeah wait a tic lol.... I'm from New York and the last time I saw those was when I was in Alabama in April for the Talladega Race... magically they seemed to have the same effect as Louisiana Mardi Gras beads to...........

The more important question... How did someone from Washington come by Mardi Gras beads? ;)

no doubt in my mind those flies catch fish...look just like the crappie jig flies I used to tie for cane polers who drop shot them in heavy timber...But I do love a good Clouser!!
