Do you love big bluegill?

playing around with ep fibers I got for Christmas and made these minnows today. probably too big for a gill but hope some crappie will get fooled.

3" would be close to the "candy shad" in the Fall that White Bass, Stripers, and other predators key on.  I just need to get some materials.....

Allen, these are about three inches long and are tied on a size 1 saltwater hook.  I tied a few more using mustad 3366 hook in a size 2 and think i will try a size four or six; that will give a better chance of hooking gills.  they are a very easy tie although they do take  a little time. I got my learning from http://www.flyfishohio.com/Puglisi_Baitfish.htm there were pics and a video.

nice looking flies mark

Some of those, tied about 4 - 5" long, would be KILLER Striper flies here.  I've got to start tying some of these.....

How big are those?  I agree with Jeff, they look just like Threadfin Shad.  Here in OK, we also have Gizzard Shad, which look almost identical, but get HUGE.

They look great Mark.....very much like our native threadfin shad.........
