Rubber legged bug

Body - the rabbit/sheep wool mix
under rib - redish copper wire from the science dept. at the school
flash back - outer wrapper from a quality street
legs - rubber from the inside of my home made landing net lanyard
eyes - bead chain from one of my daughters toys.

I'm still tending towards the bug from yesterday but I quite like the look of the rubber legged job from this evening.  Decisions, decisions...

Norm, I have a mental image of you sneaking around the school, stealing wire & ripping up fur coats in the Drama dept :shock:

Had another wee go on the vice tonight..

Weight - Lead from the flying "C" found in the Earn
Body - Wool / Fluff off my daughter's pink panther (she was asleep when I aquired it :shock:)
Under Rib - Reddish copper wire from the Science department
Flash back - Quality Street Wrapper
Over rib - Nylon Thread from Tesco's

I've now become a convert to sheep's wool.  It makes an excellent dubbing material and is easily mixed with all sort of stuff, its also quite plentiful round here

If I get the chance to get out tomorrow I think I'll fish a team of "scrapy flies".  A couple of bugs and a spider.  Still not sure about which one to nominate as THE FLY.  I like the pink bug but that really is targetting grayling so to keep in with the spirit of things I'll go for the Brownish Wool and Rabbit bug that I posted first, its a better bet for a brownie... here's hoping

Thought I would have a try too!

Pale cow "hair" off a fence this morning when out with the dug for the tail with a dark strand for a rib.  Some wool off a Jacobs sheep for the body and thorax, collected this arvo while out with the kids at Almond Valley Farm and a bit of crunchie wrapper over the thorax.  Anyone suggesting I only took them there for the purpose would be entirely wrong :  I tried to use the pale hair to tie it with but it was like a spring, every time I let the tension slip it unwound.

Hope everyone has fun giving their ''scrappies" a swim.  Good luck.

I'm reckoning a wee visit to the WoL on Tuesday might get me a scrapie fish

Just seems wrong to wet my abomination on a wee stretch of water that's already fallen victim to man's intervention. Check it our here, but don't have nightmares... http://www.whitecartwaterproject.org/contract1/.

So, I might give my fly a flee when I next find myself on a loch... don't fancy my changes though  :roll:
