Here are a couple 1/16 oz jigs I made out of some new yarn I got from jo ann fabrics.

Yarn is called Angel Hair got sort of a shrimpy look to them.

Black & lime yellow

Pink & brown

Allen I also use the dining room table but luckily for me the wife can't get around to see all the glue I have all over it. I guess next I be having to get a new dining room suit. Thanks for the compliment I guess I have a couple days left I can tie.

Dick, those do look rather buggy!

Don't feel bad about having to share the dining room.  I have to tie at the dining room table.  Luckily, I have storage space in the kitchen for my totes of tying materials.

You know the withdraws won't be that bad now that the ponds opened up and I can work on some of my other projects.

those look pretty buggy Dick, good ideas! sorry you have to share the dining room, hope the withdrawal symptoms aren't too overwhelming!

One of the advantages I have here, I have a whole room to tie flies or build rods or set up camera equipment.  Not that I know what I'm doing with either one but it's fun trying.

Done a few this evening getting ready to clean out the dining room (fly tying room) for Easter. So I may vary well be out of commission for a short. Give it till the end of the week between the Doctors and dentist this month is pretty well taken care of.Was doing a Polecate and like my normal self I forgot the legs. But did remember at the end so it wasn't a total loss.

Made one in olive and one in chart.

This past weekend the waters were a tad choppy and my fishing partner was complaining he couldn't see the floating bug he was using.  After watching his bug for a while here is the cure I came up with.
