Hey FisherKid,

So glad to hear you recovered so quickly
and had a great Christmas.

The flies are what I call dremel bugs.
That particular one is a little slider I call a jellybean.*G* It is a sort of a
minnow imitation which I've been told is
pretty effective on trout and I know for a
fact it's a good warmwater pattern. I'll
be making some more soon for a swap and
will send some more heads your way. Warm
regards, Jim

This is a Killer for the Bluegills; it is tied with open cell foam that computer suppliers ship with hard drives or video cards. I use Must ad 9484 size 10-14. I punch out the foam with a shell casing from 22-250. Grizzly hackle, orange or red tail feathers and you now have the 22-250 gill Getter. It will float when it hits the water and eventually sink and act like an emerger. When the fish are on the beds or at the edge of lilies or blow downs hang on to the 3wt on have a ball.

fisherkid--

to get you started on playing that guitar, there are several books available at very reasonable prices that have "maps" of the various finger positions for making the chords. one in particular that i used and is absolutely fantastic is called "The Guitar Grimoir". there is also a really good one called "The Guitar Chord Bible". both of these books will give you plenty of things top practice, will give you a solid foundation before taking any lessons, and will give you the chords to learn how to play any song you want.

once you have the major chords down, than you should take a few lessons on music theory and composition, etc.

if you have any questions, ill help as much as i can. ive been playing for around 17 years...

Old Geezer, I can't really tell by looking at your picture how the opencell foam is attached. Could you explain? The fly looks great! Thanks.

DP, I slide the foam on the debarbed hook and then apply thread, tail, and tie down on the front of the foam, then hackle. I am a real newbie to this. But the fly works remarkably.

Great post and I'm takin notes

tyflier,

My parents did get me a book, and it has 3 whole chapters about strings and finger positions I just don't understand them that well, but I am still trying to figure it out.

thanks,

So far, the best flies I've used for panfish are the Black Widow in sz. 10, and a sz. 12 Pheasant Tail nympth.

Semper Fi!
