Tied my first fly in a couple of months. That's a Gamakatsu S10-B in size 8. I really like this hook, but I struggle with the size 8 for some reason. Think I did it justice here, though. It's has got a natural "black" yarn body with a gold colored rib. The wing is deer hair. Tied it in hand (without a vise) using YLI 100 weight silk thread.

I caught one crappie on this fly and then promptly lost it in a tree. C'est la vie.

I thought I saw a crappie in the murk yesterday, so I busted out a crappie jig style fly. In one lake, I caught bass with it. In the other lake, I caught crappie. The fly is a little wool jiggy streamer on a Fulling Mill #8 Jig Force hook with a 3.8 mm slotted tungsten bead from Hareline, and I fished it on my Tenkara Rod Company Sierra.

Last night on #fishingplanet was fun! We reeled in some more #fish, amongst them were #crappie, #bass, #bluegill, #pickeral, and #sunfish! Unfortunately, they were all common, with a single young one. We'll have to continue hunting for a #trophy size.

Tonight, we're doing a special co-op #stardewvalley stream with TwiTheMad as we continue with our #JoJaCorp run!

Starting tonight, 8PM EST on #twitch
