Location: SW MI | Here's a fly I came up with this summer. It's jointed to add more movement and overall length. I have several different color combos that I can't wait to try this summer!

| Looks good. What's the total length of the fly? I get frustrated because I have a hard time casting large rabbit strip flies. Soak up too much water for my casting style (basically not good with large flies). |

Location: SW MI | Overall about 8". I haven't casted it yet but there isn't that much rabbit on it because it's pulled over the back of the fly. It's actually quite light. I need to get a new reel for my rod so I can try this guy out this year. |

| Looks good!!!
What is the head made out of?
What is the "globe" on? Doesn't look like a hook. Did you cut the hook or is it a piece of wire?
I need to get a few of my patterns up. I have been tinkering quite a bit this winter.

Location: SW MI | The head is a large white foam head that my friend painted with his airbrush. I did cut the front hook. I used 80# braid to join the hooks. |

| Here are a couple things I have come up with. I haven't casted these yet so I don't know how bad they will be, but most have a lot of synthetic used so they should shed water fairly well. Can't wait for soft water so I can do some testing and adjusting. The one is supposed to look like a cisco, one is a perch and then there are just a couple random ones.
