Bluegill - Big Bluegill

Do you love big bluegill?

After watching some tutorials on spinning craft fur I decided to take a shot at it.  I had some old santa hats that had white craft fur as the trim, so out came the scissors. These are take markers well and are easy to trim to shape.  I saw a youtube clip on the Dead head minnow and here's my effort on that pattern. Eager to see how these fish.  Craft fur, markers and fabric glue, and some trial and error is all it takes.

Wow nice job Rex .Sleepy

Neato great job.

Rex - great looking - can you post video link? thx Rick - looking to make some smallmouth flies

Rick here's a video  http://youtu.be/s3_sDbnWA20

I like to apply more fur to make body denser and then shape with scissors, which gives a more defined shape.  Enjoy

Im way behind on this - but they look great!

Neat flies rex
