I'll just have to open my jig / fly boxes and it'll get you all to come back home !

OK so here's your laugh for the day Trap and RG. As well as the rest of the gang. You can't laugh any harder than I did until the first fish grabbed it.

Like I said before, it is a variation of Trappers  clouser, yes variation, that if you have a very extremely vivid imagination, and maybe spent a few hours at rock concerts in the '70's you can see it.
It's a little chewed up now, took it back to the river this morning and they loved it again. This time they wanted it stripped kind of quickly, kind of like a darter. I wish I had the patience for fly fishing like I do trolling. I bet I wouldn't be half bad. Just have to get RG or Trap to tie my flies....

There's nothing prettier than a chewed up skeleton of a fly. That's why I always leave one home when I'm experimenting with new patterns

The only thing that's "Pre Molded" around is your brain !    As in old and moldy 
  You know my hand painting !  Now just imagine that on tiny flies, poppers and other fishy looking creatures that I tied, epoxied, glued, etc, etc 
I can't give out all my secrets so you'll have to use your imagination.................what's left of it 

[1fish@atime]

LOL, My brain is as sharp as a 20 year old. Got the body of a 30 year old, The....

Have you looked in the mirror lately ?       It's gonna take a couple gallons of epoxy to cover your head !

PS:    None of my micro creations have any weight added other than a few wraps of wire or a set of bead eyes.  Most of what I used to make were floaters...........................just like you if you keep it up

Cool the wife just made popcorn too.....

OK, here's a picture of a few fishy looking creatures that I tied up and painted a few years back.     They catch everything that swims in these parts !     Sizes were from # 14 to # 10
