spring recruits

[gomer]

One good thing about this arctic weather that we are having is that it gave me some time to dust off the renzetti and get some serious jig tying in for when the rivers thaw out a bit. My boxes are now full, so hopefully I can get out soon...:lol:

Heres a few of the new recruits I whipped up that should put some fish on the bank.:)

for those that are wondering the hooks I used are a mix of Rens-jigs and tiemco 2x strong nymph hooks that I bent.

Very nice, one of these days I am going to have to learn how to tie jigs and flies...LOL

[UBDSLO1]

Nice jigs there Gomer. Did you use the candle trick to bend your hooks? Do you think it makes the hook more "brittle"?

[gomer]

yes i heated them with a candle. I have reefed on them pretty good and they havent broke at the bend yet.

After looking at this thread, I have to go and wash the gay off me...too fly-tyingesque for me. :p:lol:

Well Hutch, one of the bonuses of having 2 functional hands is that I can tie flies... er I mean jigs.:lol:

wow, i hear these patterns work well for 2 fly snagging. I never thought to tie them up on a jig. I know guys guys run bugs or fish gut under floats. are there times when these artificals are more effective? ie are they more a spring time pattern?

[tommytubular]

nice looking jigs Gomer

I'm tying a few different jigs myself that I hope to try this spring

Steelhead Addict,

There have been days when I hooked more fish using plain jigs, however normally I tip them with bugs (the smaller jigs at least). The big zonker strip jigs (the ones in the 2nd pic) I fish plain. I don't dead drift them though, I give them some action.

Sounds like you really need to WASH your gay off now!!!:lol::lol::dizzy:

Of course! What's not hilarious about gay jokes?
I guess they are an indication of posters who are small-minded, ignorant and basically worthless human beings...

ya you know when the centerpinning trend is peaking...I saw a couple of guys trying to force feed fish using 13ft rods with cp reels last spring.

talk about hilarious to watch. idiots ruin everything.:lol:

------------------------------

seriously, gomer, nice fly/jigs. let us know how they work out.

[kype138]

People who aren't PC aren't necessarily worthless.
Some just make a stronger argument towards worthlessness than others...

[Steelhead Addict]

People,

the last time I checked this was a sportsman forum and this section was about centerpinning.

What you do in your private life is YOUR business. What your social/political beleifs are irrelavent here.

Lets talk about fishing ok?

otherwise there is a "Sound off" forum...you all might find that a more appropriate place to discuss these matters.

If that could be done, you'd have done it along time ago.
