Thanks, John
I need to do more and plan too. I find that I enjoy doing them even though they can be time consuming. Not sure what I have to offer is worth putting out there, but, I will still do more soon.

Fly fishing and fly tying are two things that I do, and when I am doing them, they are the only 2 things I think about. They clear my mind.
I got in my box of string (second hand inheritance from a long ago tyer) and found some floss like material of approximately the right color and knocked one conehead and one bead head version. They are an easy tie and should work in Georgia, what I am thinking, silver bead, white marabou, body and white or grizzly hackle equals a crappie and white bass / wiper catcher.

Jesse,
Please be sure to report how they worked for you. I have had great success with this pattern on all species.

Good looking fly Warren. I'll bet even creek chubs would take a shot at it.

The 2 flies that Warren mentions in his FOTW submission (Guacamole Stick Bug and Eat at Chuck's) were the creations of Chuck Robinson, formerly owner of The Flychucker in Brentwood. He is a master certified casting instructor (FFF) and touched a lot of middle Tennessee fly fishers during the years he spent here. Chuck has since moved to Washington state and is a little closer to his hometown of Kalispell, MT. He's a great all-around guy and I hope to fish with him again someday.
zaxaca,
Thank you for that information. I knew his first name was Chuck but could not remember his last name. The Guacamole Stick Bug that I submitted has really produced a lot of fish for me and is a "go-to" fly for me. I think the hackle I used is a little too long but all I had was a list of material and no other tying info. I do use shorter hackle on mine and hackle a little darker brown.

Warren, Have you ever connected with a grass carp with this fly? I thought there was enough green they might go for it. I tied one on a smaller hook with a glass bead to use bream fishing this weekend.
