what i think is interesting is that you took a fly pattern (a nymph) and put it on a jig. cant say ive ever seen taht done before... :-? im not saying thats a bad thing either i will say that you tied it upside down tho. on a jig the hookpoint and eye are supposed to be up, and the top of you fly should also be up like the hook point.  other than that keep at it!

Well I am thinking about wooly worms. Look alive enough and with my skills it definitely looks in distress lol. I did note that is was upside down I put the hook in like the video showed and didn't think of the eye. Good catch though. I just want to do more then the standard fir a tail that sell everywhere. If it works I will let you know.
