Balsa Bugs

Knocking out some Balsa Bugs to go along with the fly-fishing outfit I'm sending to one of our grandsons for his upcoming birthday. It's always more fun making them when you're making them for one of your grandchildren to get them into the sport. https://gifyu.com/image/S0JAf

Good looking bug

That is a fantastic looking bug Jim. That should get your Grandchild excited about using it by just looking at it. Dennis

Thanks Rick

Thank you, Dennis. I have two fly boxes full of sub-surface patterns so far and am making up a box of Balsa bugs to add to his gift. The outfit is a 4wt, so I'm making the Balsa bugs small enough for him to cast easily with that light rod.Jim

and very nicely made.

Thank you for the kind words. I am working on the remainder of the dozen Balsa bugs I'm carving as part of his gift and will post a photo of all of the finished bugs.Jim Smith

Thats sounds good !
