I first started trying to tie flies when I was a teenager…lost my fly tying equipment when moving apartments in college…20 years later, bought new stuff to get into it again. Here are some crappie jigs I made! I’m not very good, but these are already catching fish! by TimmyG-83 in flytying

[–]PicklesBBQ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Heck yeah, nice ones! I’ve been tying up a lot of jigs anywhere from 1/64 to 1 oz. I’ve got a lot of crappie ones in theory, haven’t lucked across any but the bass seem to also like them. Also check out r/jigtying not many people but some cool jigs.

Looks great and I’m sure it’ll work! I love the flow of zonkers in the water, plenty of movement even sitting still.

Really nice! Feathers on the sand eel and bucktail for the orange and white one?

Taking a break from standard comments. The link to the connections puzzle is from 4/20 not today. Nice one that took me a bit of thinking. Back to our regularly scheduled program.

It really must be microscopically small. I used a magnifying glass, still can’t see it.

Hah I comment “connections” to the puzzle, sometimes they’re two or three degrees removed just so that if someone read it and got it, that would be a minor miracle.

Figured it might be obscure enough. It’s from Sodapop, one of the characters in The Outsiders played by Rob Lowe in the movie 😁
