Kinda leaves me out too but I will submit a baitfish pattern. That's almost a minnow, isn't it?

[Lucky]

Here's an epoxy minnow pattern I have been working on lately, trying to imitate the pink fry that will be flooding our waters any day now.



Thread: White
Tail: Two pieces of pearl flashabou sandwiched between two tufts of mallard flank
Body: Two lengths of fine silver mylar
Back: Green metallic powder mixed into hard as nails and brushed on, then covered in epoxy.

i know what you mean with which one to pick. luckily for me it's an easy choice. just tie it to look better than luckys.
