Chuck, I recently did a tutorial on just the subject of tying the Calcasieu Pigboat on the Fly Tying Forum (in the Beginner's Corner, since they were asking). You can find the tutorial here:
http://www.flytyingforum.com/index.php?showtopic=22495 Mark Delaney PS: Gill getter recipe is also on my website at http://chemprof.tripod.com/fishing.html under the bass/panfish link, should be very similar to the cbfc0.tripod.com link, since I wrote both pages.

I have them printed out now.. BTW, on that Calcasieu Pigboat you tied for the Tom Nixon memorial swap, how do you get 56-72 rubber legs tied in??? I mean, do you get a bass skirt and tie it in?? Or do you tie in a few at a time??? I saw those, and now wanna try some of them too, Thanks again, Chuck BTW, from looking at the various flies from the Tom NixonMemorial swap (swap #1 I think it is). I take it that Tom must have been an avid Bass fisherman??? If so, did he write any books on that subject??? ----- Original Message ----- From: Allan Fish To: [email protected] Sent: Friday, February 16, 2007 12:33 PM Subject: Re: [VFB] Gill Getter Pattern(s) Folks: I had some "Gill getter" flies last year, that I THINK had a chenille body, rubber legs, and say, a squirrel tail tail.. Anybody have a pattern like this??? I have searched VFB, FAOL and Google and can't seem to find the exact one I'm hunting.. Thanks, Chuck Several variations: http://www.warmwaterflyfisher.com/jarsofflies/Bluegill/jarsofflies_Gill_Getter.htm http://www.virtualflybox.com/patterns/pattern.php?swap_id=15&id=934 http://cbfc0.tripod.com/gillgett.htm I also like to add an undersized palmered hackle before pulling the shell-back over. -- Allan Fish Greenwood, IN [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------- Need Mail bonding?
