jim, nice looking stuff. I tie something similar, I use small zonked pine squirrel for a tail and also take a couple raps around the hook shank for a hackle on larger sizes and loop dub pine squirrel on the smaller sizes. on the smaller sizes I use a 60 degree jig style hook with a slotted tungsten bead. I do the same on the larger hook sizes but use a longer shanked jig hook that Umpqua makes. keep up the good work john s
John, Thanks for the reply and the recommendations. I find these little jig flies to be very versatile and work well. Would you mind posting a few photos of the ones you tie? I'd love to see more of your work and get new ideas.Jim
jim, it will take me a while to photo and post so give me a day or two
Thank you very much! I've been using GIFYU to upload my photos and it seems to work okay.Jim
Very nicely tied Jim.
Thank you for the kind words. It's a simple pattern to tie and is very effective. I spend more time making each jighead than I do tying the pattern.Jim
