Small large mouth and a golden shiner on a Kelly’s reveille jr bubble gum color no pictures so only a fish tail

I'm using extra small on #1's you might want to try cones instead the skulls are pretty big.

I’m not even sure if it’s real possum

Just remember that elk didn’t have a steel rod up it’s butt take a picture of it setting in a glass of water then take a picture a 15 minutes later if you can get it to float that long with no floatent you have a killer and I’ll take a dozen bahaha a few of the wing fibers need to be sticking...

Starting to look like an old pro don nice ties.How does it float?

Lol don’t forget the bobbers very funny me giving you floats bahahaha

A little rainbow and a decent smallmouth today at lunch.HD the trout where hitting the surface heavy today.

I’m using #1 Gamakatsu and #2 mustad the Gamakatsu are a thinner wire and a little easier to get the helmet on.

I’m using wapsi awesome possum strips and making brushes just like I did with the bunny strips. I’m not really sure if it’s actually possum hair.

His daughter gave me the Vulcan death pinch while I was trying to give her a piggyback ride over the mud that’s why I dropped her honest laugh my ever loving butt off.

Need moving water look for shaded spots that have bigger rocks and a sandy soil (moss is good)get a net or screen and have a person flip rock above the net(summer). Spring flip rocks on shore same conditions let the little guys go to get bigger

It’s a good weekend to tie woolly huggers or just hug you woolly lol

Clip a v on the end of the tail and then your ready to loose it under a rock or in a tree lol

Hair clip helps keep the fibers in control before gluing add some glue to the thread head and slide the helmet over the eye of the hook (I’m using gorilla glue clear seems to hold better than uv) but wet the helmet before you slide it on according to the glue instructions I just spit in it lol...

#6 I made one more wrap (4) total this depends on how far up your materials are and I test fit the helmet again (you want it to fit snug not loose before the glue)

#5 a few wraps of the possum hair at this time I test fit the helmet making sure that I don’t have to much or to little ( you need a good base to glue the helmet in place but to much and you won’t get the helmet on

#4 add the possum brush it a lot longer and fuller than the bunny so I only add it to the front of the hook to keep all that hair from plugging up the hook

#3 wrap the bunny and hackle up to the point where the bunny strip ends

#2 attach your feather and the bunny brush to the back of the hook I’ve shortened the width of my bunny brush a little by holding a pulling some of the bunny fibers to keep it away from the curve of the hook

Run a good thread base and punch the hook through the hide side of the strip so the hair is towards the bend of the hook
