Just tied these flies with hope of being "the killer" fly

Steve, those are some awesome looking flies! I bet LMB will still hammer them! hold on tight!
good looking flies i don't thank i have seen one of these before,are these one of your creations,and how about the recipe ,hook size exc.






gators stink
These flies are a variation of the Hairy Fodder fly. The original fly was tied bigger for LMB. I downsized these flies for bluegill. These flies are tied on a #10, 3X long streamer hook, xsmall lead eyes, krystal flash and sili legs (color, your choice) for the tail, pine squirrel fur for the body, sili legs and wooly bugger chenille for the head. This fly is tied to ride with the hook up. Just my imagination for a bluegill fly I hope to be a killer fly.
i like it,looks like it might be one of those go to flies.






gators eat my deer too
You are right Alex, on bigger hooks using cross cut rabbit zonkers will really do a job on LMB and SMB.
Alex & Steve the bass flies look good, i try to bass fish some but have trouble getting away from my gills and chinks. i have a couple of good rods but do not work them too enough.
i will try to get into more bass this yr,i have twisted up a few flies for bass .how about a few of ya'lls best producers for bass i sure could use some ideas. i tie the usual frogs, sliders,shiners exc.


show me a gator i'll show you a gravy
good look'n hoppers joseph.







gators make good sauce
looks like it will catch fish,what kind of hook is that,and what is the body material.





baked gator is good
