<p>Vince, the black striped gold fly in the top of the picture is my spoon fly. It's made with 5 minute epoxy with gold glitter mixed in. I use silly putty as a mold.

Let it set for about 10 minutes then remove from the mold. You can paint them up with nail polish to your liking, put on eyes and seal with clear nail polish.

I've got glitter in all different colors so I'm probably going to make some more experimenting with maybe some slender shapes.</p> Sounds like a good day to me.…tag:bigbluegill.ning.com,2012-09-30:2036984:Comment:3129572012-09-30T03:57:08.303ZVince Fuscohttps://bigbluegill.ning.com/profile/VinceFusco
<p>Sounds like a good day to me. That lake has some pretty colored gills in it. Is that yellow with black striped one on the top your spoon fly? Got a recipe for it?</p>
