The jig hook shad, bottom left corner � can anyone point to a recipe or tutorial (or at least a name) for that one?

Can't tell you who tied the "jig hook shad" or the recipe, but can tell you the origen of the original.
It's a version of Glazener's Jig Hook Minnow.

I'm thinking the same thing, George, but with angel hair or something long for the head instead or over the bucktail. looks really fishy whatever it is

Looks good to me also Austin.
Angel hair and clear cure goo hadn't been invented when I first came up with that pattern some 20 years ago ...
Fish catchin' fly for sure ... !

George � I knew I should've worked your name into the original post. You must feel some pride and accomplishment in contributing a legacy to the fly-tying universe. It's nice to have you on the board.

Yeah, Austin, notice the translucency (you can see partially through it) of that fly � it appears somewhat sparse, maybe hollow. It looks like the ticket (especially, maybe, in clear water) for shad eaters everywhere.
