Working on some crickets

[ctom]

I have 1/80 ounce cast on #10 Black Platinum Eagle Claws that are a nice fly jig. Let me know if you'd like to try a few.

I really like the look of that one, I just haven't gotten around to trying it out. I would really hate to lose a fly that looked that good in a tree or some brush haha

Davie makes it look easy I know - but he makes a great follow along video.  You should see some of his salmon flies!!!

His videos are really good. I've seen a good number of them since I've started tying flies

This cricket pattern (using black foam) reminds me of a dragonfly pattern I made while fishing bass in Denny's country.  My flies never looked half as good as these crickets, but bass are only half as smart as trout, which made this the most productive bite going when the 'flies were mating.  Lots of fun throwing to an open pocket and having it get eaten when nothing else was producing.
