Robb's Comments


This fly was inspired by the classic bass bait rig of the same name. A jig-n-pig consists of a large jig with a rubber skirt baited with a piece of pork rind. Smallmouth anglers in Cayuga Lake did very well with a crayfish colored set up. This is my attempt to recreate that.

Will's note - I cringed when I saw the name of this fly. But knowing Robb, I knew he just couldn't create a pork-strip disaster. This thing not only has rubber legs & rabbit, it looks good.

The Christmas Tree

This fly is primitive close to being embarrassing. It's even ugly. It uses one material only and a crude and synthetic one at that. But... and there's a but... GFF partner Martin Joergensen has to admit that it's an efficient fly. It catches a lot of fish.
