recently on a black friday special i ordered some new bernat velvet chenille. this stuff will make great buggers, bodies on crappie jigs. unfortunatelyit doesnt furl so nicely . you may find it at joannns, michaels stores. 350 yards for about 10 bucks. also picked up some spinella eyelash yarn this stuff is perfect for furling , and making ned rig type jigs but furl two strand together for the tail. it come s in a cake form roll with 5 colors in each cake . all this in time for the indoortying season

so those that seen him at the show and at orvis on monday any comments on his style ? i didnt talk with him long but his latest fly which is like the hollow fly, is tied on small tubes on a wire core. very clever and so sparse . his beast fly was about 10 inches long .

my grandson cant wait to do mop fly demos. i will also be doing tying demos on my version of the dragontail style of fly. depending on how it is trimmed it makes a leech or baitfish pattern. it also works good tied on a chatterbait or jig head for you spinning gear fans. see you there rich -
any pointers or tips on using them? are they mostly a cold water bait? i have been tying furled tails on them with results on lm bass in the ponds

bob clousers book is great for beginners. try to hookup with some central illinois bassbuggers they meet in the winter. the isa fly show is great for watching tyers tie but is a few hours away. rich

i would suggest liquid fusion from a craft store
