"Spring Cricket" 11 Replies

One thing ive noticed about favorite or popular B.Gill baits is the B.Gill's fascination for rubber legs… one of my most favorite ties growing up as a kid was the foam spider with those rubber legs.…Continue

Comment by Slip Sinker on June 13, 2016 at 8:55am: Leo...yep that is a great idea...i have only one tie as of now... and im putting together a separate discussion for it as of now... just a few minutes...

Comment by Leo Nguyen on June 13, 2016 at 8:52am: Ken, try to give a bit of direction on how to post fly tying on BBG. I had something posted on how to create quick instructional fly tying methods in the support group. But like McScruff chimed in earlier, have a layout and instruction where people can follow to make things a bit easier to swallow. Video instruction is best I think.

Comment by David, aka, "McScruff" on June 13, 2016 at 8:51am: Well Im on board.
I tie flies from the sublime to the ridiculous, and am always waaay too lengthy in the design concept, details, facts and trivia behind each one.

This will be perfect.

Comment by Slip Sinker on June 13, 2016 at 8:48am: Leo ... what the group is asking is just their own tied patterns in it's own seperate discussion. hopefully the discussions would reveal the creators intention and motivation for its creation. the steps in its evolution and possibly show some successful catches and tips on how to use the creation.

yeah copying and pasting the pictures in your discussion is the easiest way to do it. never erase any old pictures or discussions on your fly or jig.

these are BBG created fly and jig database not the vast creations copied from the "Outside"

Comment by Slip Sinker on June 13, 2016 at 8:38am: thanks for hopping on board guys!...

Comment by Leo Nguyen on June 13, 2016 at 8:32am: This is going to be one massive undertaking. If we have masters contributing their flies and instructions here, that's awesome. But ventured out to gather other flies and their instructions, and repost, wow. Best not to just to copy and paste the links. Once the posts are removed from the other sites, the flies are lost. Best to grab it as images by doing screen captures (easiest and fastest way).

Comment by Mark Sleeper on June 13, 2016 at 8:04am: I just caught a bluegill in Maine, my 2nd one there ,not native to Maine.i caught that one on my first cast with my Badger tenkara rod, I was using a fly that I see on Jonathan school of fly fishing, a pink bead SRW fly very deadly on anything that is in the water

Comment by Mark Sleeper on June 13, 2016 at 7:58am: Thanks for the add Mark

Comment by Slip Sinker on June 13, 2016 at 7:50am: Bruce Tomaselli brought it up in a discussion recently that also expressed the need

Comment by Slip Sinker on June 13, 2016 at 7:47am: i agree Jim... id like to give credit where credit is due when i review a members tie and try to link to their postings or pictures.... some time very tedious to do... enough responders and we could end up with an amazing collection of patterns from all these gifted tiers...
