blaque Posted November 17, 2012 Report Share Posted November 17, 2012 I remember when friday nights were much more interesting than sitting at a vice covered in marabou Can you guess what my hot color has been as of late lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moosebunk Posted November 17, 2012 Report Share Posted November 17, 2012 Used to tie flies at work when it was slow up north. Have thousands now that rarely see daylight. Those steelie jigs though... have never done them with those exact hook/bead heads. They look mint... nice job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christopheraaron Posted November 17, 2012 Report Share Posted November 17, 2012 Nice! How do you fish them, I've been tying them too but don't know what to do with them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Live2fish85 Posted November 17, 2012 Report Share Posted November 17, 2012 Nice work. I love the flashabou, I tie it into a lot of my work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solopaddler Posted November 17, 2012 Report Share Posted November 17, 2012 Looking good bud! I fish many of the same systems you do and have always done well with white jigs. Do yourself a favour though, seriously. Tie a couple up exactly the same way but make the collar chartreuse. For whatever reason that combination has been even more lethal for me.

BillM Posted November 17, 2012 Report Share Posted November 17, 2012 Nice! How do you fish them, I've been tying them too but don't know what to do with them? Just like you would a bag/bead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks mike.....I'll definitely give that a shot. I've done contrasting thread b4 but don't think I've done chartreuse. Lord knows I've probably got spools full of it somewhere lol Chris, As others have said just fish em under a float like you would anything else. I dig em cuz they get right down and don't have to mess around with as much if any lead shot. The less lead I have to crimp with my teeth the better!!! And go figure, 90% of my fish today came on eggs or egg patterns lmao Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kemper Posted November 17, 2012 Report Share Posted November 17, 2012 Those look dynamite. I haven't been using jigs enough lately, but I've run out of roe and I think I'll just fish the season out without it. Some of those guys are in my near future at the vice, I think. If I can stop tying spey flies that is... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aaron Shirley Posted November 19, 2012 Report Share Posted November 19, 2012 Very nice Blaque I've done well jiggling the float occasionally in the drift with those as well and fly fishing with them. I heard the trib I met you on last year is messed up right now. Is that true? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
