More from my Skunkworks

[Gigmaster]

I was playing around with some ideas for Bass and Striper flies, and came up with this. It may have already been done, but I've never seen one. If it hasn't already been done, it should have. The colors are a little off. The beard is actually orange craft fur, but in the picture it looks red, like the tail.

Here it is...my version of the Bluegill Zonker.



I still have a few ideas for it, like maybe adding a pair of OD and black speckled cheeks, and omitting the hackle. You could also use OD green marabou for the tail, instead of the red craft fur. I'm going to try it out this weekend.
