My Creations

The following flies are my own originals. Click on them to see a larger image. I'll add more as time permits. The Shad Flies and Tube Flies pages also have some of my own originals. That's the wonderful thing about dressing your own flies, you can make your own original fly then lie to everyone about how well it does. Enjoy.

This fly is from the local patterns page. I've made a simple variation. The Caledonia Killer is often tied with either green or orange bodies. I like both so I use half orange and half green. Not much of a twist but I like it this way.

Big smallmouth bass love to eat little smallmouth bass! This is my attempt to fool those old guys. A feather wing streamer tied Carrie Stevens style.

Tube flies really interest me. They can be used in a variety of ways. Here are two tubes rigged as spinners that I use for trolling.

Poppers are very good bass flies. I tied this one but can't claim the original design. That I had seen elsewhere and thought "I got to try that one!". This color pattern is seen on a lot of top water baits and it's one of my personal favorites.
