Where the spirit leads the feet will follow.
Down distant paths for unmapped miles.
Heads forget but hearts remember:
The art of living knows no bounds.

Fly Tying - Sierra Trout Jig

I'm starting a fly tying project to tie a set of flies for next trout season in the Eastern Sierra that emulates a popular and successful brand of rubber trout jigs. The rubber jigs are about 1.5 inches long, so tied like this on a size 8 euro nymphing jig hook it matches it pretty well.

PARTRIDGE SLJ short shank, wide gap, size #8
