Hey gang! It's been a while but I'm getting back into the swing o' things here! I'll be posting up some stellar bluegill jigs I've been working on soon! But in the meantime you can check them out on my site (http://lonestarcustomlures.com) and on my blog (http://awmiller.wordpress.com).

Hi Artie here. Fly rodder in south eastern Okla.. Fish streams and lakes. Look forward to seeing flies that work in your areas. This is such a cool web site. I have had GILL FEVER as long as I have fished.

Larry Dahlberg is the man! I just got Hunt For Big Fish DVD last month...INCREDIABLE!!
On the fly tying note, Here are foam hoppers that I have been tying lately. Jay "Fishy" Fullum is the creator. They are extremely effective for gills and are easy to tie! Here is the site I found the instructions at http://hipwader.com/2003/fishys-hopper-pattern

I tied these bad dogs for Mr. Sikkila.

Just when you think you've gotten involved all the groups you can on the BBG website I see another one I'd love to be a part of. Will post some of my better ties when I return home from Lake Erie. Sincerely, Bob

Comment by Dana on June 1, 2009 at 11:06am
great site! i jsut joined today.
i'm an avid tier, and have recently fell in love with warm water flyrodding. I had GREAT luck here in MN with a nymph i believe is called a Blue Antheron. Its essentially a Hares Ear Nymph with a bright blue wing casing. couldn't pull em in fast enough.
I look forward to seeing some new patterns and posting some myself!
