Hellgramite

Tony, there probably aren't any 25" + bass in the Potomac nor Shenandoah Rivers anymore to even consider fishing one of those ties; but might have to tie a few up to put under glass, since the last 20" + bass up there was a dozen years ago & the ones out of these southern lakes & canals don't have any to feed on

Tony, that's one great looking helgy!

that is the best looking hellgramite I have ever seen too...wow

[jkilroy]

I bet that takes a while to tie!

I'd take a wippin before I fished that fly.
Probably take me a very long session to tie one.
I have seen simpler Hgms that would probably be much less labor intensive to my ( advanced beginner-intermidiate ) skill level.
Were'nt there recipies/patterns for them in the archives here ?
