Bluegill Fly With Rubber Legs

[mic]

Are the legs coming out of the foam or from underneath. Is that marabou in the back?

Will you please post the recipes for both?

Tie on some marabou and some flash about the size of the hook shank. I have found the gills react well to yellow.

Acquire some foam form a hobby shop or fly shop. I use foam letters from Hobby Lobby and cut it up into cylinders.

Slice the foam cylinder along the bottom so it will slide onto the hook shank.

Place some super glue on the hook shank and then slide the foam cylinder on the shank.

Wrap the thread around up near the eye of the hook in two places to secure the foam and to make a head.

Whip finish and apply some glue.

Punch a hole through the foam in two places for the rubber legs.

Use a bobbin threader to pull the rubber legs through the foam. Apply some glue to the legs before pulling them through.

Cast under tree limbs, near stumps, and around rocks and then wait for the explosions.

Thanks,

You know if you change the color up, I bet that would catch a trout or two.
