Since I'd been catching fish of late on my little brown bug, I decided to tie on a brown Greasy Monkey with a copper stripe down the side.

<p>Fished the brown one for probably another 45 minutes or so and not another nibble. As I was kinda just lookin around at my surroundings I noticed this: (See first picture)</p>
<p>An "old fisherman" aka Crane sitting on top of the hill on a pile of rocks about a 1/4 mile from the lake...Never a good sign!<br/> However I put on a purple Greasy Monkey and began casting and casting, took a sandwich break and just about sundown got a great hit:<a href="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/2220397356?profile=original" target="_self"><img width="750" src="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/2220397356?profile=RESIZE_1024x1024" width="750" class="align-full"/></a></p>
<p>For the next hour, nearly every cast was catching fish, even this beautiful warmouth.<a href="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/2220398484?profile=original" target="_self"><img width="750" src="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/2220398484?profile=RESIZE_1024x1024" width="750" class="align-full"/></a></p>
<p>And this one:<a href="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/2220401491?profile=original" target="_self"><img width="750" src="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/2220401491?profile=RESIZE_1024x1024" width="750" class="align-full"/></a></p>Not a Fly but a STYLE-Peacock Herl on a Dubbing Looptag:bigbluegill.ning.com,2012-05-29:2036984:BlogPost:2733782012-05-29T03:06:52.000ZJen Nayflyhttps://bigbluegill.ning.com/profile/Jen
<p>Peacock herl is a great body material. But it is not durable. A fish can get a tooth into the herl and it breaks and unravels. End of the fly. With the use of a dubbing tool we shall make a peacock herl chanile .</p>

<p>There are several of these on the market you can buy. This one is made with a paper clip and the end of a mechanicl pencil. Bend the paper clip in half and slide it thru the pencil. Fold the ends over this will be used to hook into the loop.</p>
<p>Place hook in the vice and dress the hook, starting at the eye wrap thread to the bend of the hook.</p>
<p><a href="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/2220395120?profile=original" target="_self"><img width="750" class="align-full" src="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/2220395120?profile=RESIZE_1024x1024" width="750"/></a></p>
<p>Take 5 or 6 herls trim even and bind the material down to top of hook shank.</p>
<p><a href="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/2220395180?profile=original" target="_self"><img width="750" class="align-full" src="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/2220395180?profile=RESIZE_1024x1024" width="750"/></a></p>
<p><a href="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/2220395242?profile=original" target="_self"><img width="750" class="align-full" src="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/2220395242?profile=RESIZE_1024x1024" width="750"/></a></p>
<p>Wrap the herl around the thread all the way to the bottom of the herl.<br/><a href="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/2220395606?profile=original" target="_self"><img width="750" class="align-full" src="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/2220395606?profile=RESIZE_1024x1024" width="750"/></a></p>
<p>With your thumb and finger grasp the herl and the thread, hold, and take the thread up and over the hook shank.</p>
<p><a href="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/2220395725?profile=original" target="_self"><img width="750" class="align-full" src="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/2220395725?profile=RESIZE_1024x1024" width="750"/></a></p>
<p> </p>
<p>Then over the herl and thread.<br/><a href="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/2220395901?profile=original" target="_self"><img width="750" class="align-full" src="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/2220395901?profile=RESIZE_1024x1024" width="750"/></a></p>
<p>Then around the hook shank towards the front of the hook.<br/><a href="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/2220396606?profile=original" target="_self"><img width="750" class="align-full" src="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/2220396606?profile=RESIZE_1024x1024" width="750"/></a></p>
<p>Hook the dubbing tool thru the loop in the thread and start twisting. This will create the herl chanile. Then wrap to the front of the hook, tie down and clip off excess.</p>
<p><a href="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/2220396798?profile=original" target="_self"><img width="750" class="align-full" src="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/2220396798?profile=RESIZE_1024x1024" width="750"/></a></p>
<p>This is the basis for my Naybee,and is the most durable way to use peacok herl for the body.</p>Help with a GUNtag:bigbluegill.ning.com,2012-04-12:2036984:BlogPost:2582822012-04-12T01:28:55.000ZJen Nayflyhttps://bigbluegill.ning.com/profile/Jen
Most everyone on here knows I fish 99% of the time from my FishCat tube. Here's my question I ' d like help with.........I can't afford to buy a Real pistol to carry in my tube so am wondering if anyone has CO2 experience with a BB pistol. Also since I live alone would this be helpful against an intruder as well as Snakes?

A year ago we lost a treasured member on this sight. His name was Joseph Parker known here as Bluegill Boogieman. Everyone please say a prayer for the friends and family he left behind. I for one have missed him greatly and all that he contributed to this sight.
