This battle weary �terminator� did huge damage to hybrids and huge copper nose blue gill past couple of days, plus sized up #4 brimanator with brown maribou tail equally as good.
When tied on #4 hooks with chartreuse marabou tail for big fish, don�t seem right to call them briminators so took a little �poetic licence� for a terminator version.





Had to post picture of this little girl with a big mouth tries to eat this magnum bass size Q&D Gurgler - the foam on that thing is that thing is � x 1 � inches.
Gosh, I hate to post my ugly flies on this topic with al the outstanding art work shown lately.




Anyway my ugly flies catch fish��

George, you continue to amaze us all!!

That's good stuff, George.

Thanks Mick, these old near 90 year failing viion eyes and shaky fingers tie mostly from memory now days but don't have to use a walker to get to waters edge...
You and all my other friends inspire me!

George, so happy you had a great couple of days. The fish are the true judges. Looks like you got a Blue Ribbon to me! Congrats sir!!

That sure looks like a good time and a nice bunch of flies to me. I would be proud of both.

Very nice George!

Awesome stuff George. I've been doing the same thing with the Briminators as well. And catching lots of fish with them. Mine are far uglier. At least you get the hackle to spread out all the way around the hook. Mine end up in little bunches on one side of the hook, LOL!! And yet they still catch fish. Olive Marabou has been my favorite color.

Had problems with "inherited" hooks opening up and dropping fish (see photo above), I decided to go with new #4 Jig Hook version tied on my old tried and true 60 degree bend jig hooks.



Fished new JH fly version yesterday afternoon with very good results on bass, hybrids and big gills.

And what would the "JH version" be (other than wonderful, of course)???

I see that itty bitty fish with that big fly in its mouth!!!

Aw Jerry - the ittsy bitsy JH (Jerry Mamon) version is the one tied on the ittsy bitsy hook....

Nice work George. Good to see you out on the water.

Thanks Lee, I really enjoyed the privilege of meeting you visiting with old friends at the recent Texoma on the Fly event.
