I've been playing around a bit with plastic doll eyes. Large molded eyes really turn a mediocure fly into a more 3-D real life representation. I've been tying on stainless steel Mustad size 1's and my smallie box is filling up quickly.
I just made up a couple of these badboys. The spun Jackrabbit head absorbs water making casting distances simple, but also adds life-like flowing movement.
So I haven't had a chance to get out at all lately. I recently got a new career that keeps me quite busy and with Katelyn approaching 10 months old already, shes been keeping us quite busy. On December 4th she was baptized. This was a very happy day with grandmas, grandpas, aunts, uncles, and cousins from both sides.
I hope to sneak away soon for Burbot fishing on a Lake Superior tributary, and will report for sure.
