I was playing around with different ideas and came up with this…the Chernobyle Frog.
You tie it almost like a Chernobyle Ant, except you cut out a frog-shaped body.
I took it out to Lake Conasauga this morning (on top of Grassy Mountain) and fished it for about 30 minutes. A 2-1/2 Lb. Largemouth hit it almost the instant it hit the water on the first cast and scared me half to death! She hit it so hard she put dents in the foam!
I caught 2 more bass, all about 2 Lbs each and came home. I think this pattern works.
Wish I could post pictures, on this site, because then I’d have to show off my new foam “Great White Frog”, complete with teeth, dorsal fin, etc. Scares the bass, right up onto shore!
I should’ve known someone probably already thought of this. Why does everyone else’s flies always look better than mine? That’s a great frog. He ties his a little different than I did, but I like his way better. I’m gonna do some more tonight. He’s right, it really catches fish, even my ugly one!
My vise is a Griffin Montana Mongoose. I got it on Ebay for $25.00. I really like it. It came with a parachute tool as well.
All you have to do to post pictures is to put them on Photo Bucket (http://www.photbucket.com), then just copy the IMG code and paste it into your message. The picture will pop right up.
Why can’t you post a picture? Don’t you have a digital camera? If you’re lacking a camera, mail someone the frog so we can see it. I, for one, would be intrigued by that critter.

Thanks, you two, for the offer!
I own 4 digital cameras, (don’t ask em why, it’s another sick addiction of mine).
But, unless I’m (as always), lost somehow I can’t see anyplace where I CAN upload pics to my posts!?!
Okay, here’s my take on this pattern!! I wanted something that would “Chew through pilings and snags” to get at the bass! (Thus, the steel bite proof leader, seen in the pictures. One can never be “too careful” with new patterns!?)
