Rick's FOTW

Rick,

Thanks for sharing the fly on this week’s FOTW. That is a really good bluegill/black perch fly that I have caught a lot of fish on. I also tie it using the rubber leg material for the tail. Just tie one leg on each side of the hook shank to form a “V”. Folks this is a good fly pattern and if you do not have it in your fly box, you should have.

Thanks, again, Rick.

Thanks for the idea of the rubber legs for the tail.

Out here we call that a girdle bug. I think Rick’s tie would be a good helgramite.

Hey Rick,

I lifted this photo from spinner1’s website. Check out what’s in this big brownie’s jaw! Look familiar?

I don’t recognize that fish at all, but the fly looks familiar.

Next time I get to tying I will do a few of them. Thanks Rick! Well, thanks AGAIN Rick
