Ginger Hen and Mono Alec Jackson

[William Anderson]

I have not fished these, that I can remember, but a couple months ago I tied a series and just got a pic of one. I don't see why it wouldn't be effective in the right conditions. It's always nice to make use of someone's streamside rubbish anyway.

Very sweet.
Nice clean slim lines and the translucent mono shows a nice lateral line. The AJ hook is just the icing on the cake.

That hook is the icing on every cake. Looks good Will.
PS, when are we going fishing?

[William Anderson]

Thanks, fellas. I'm in total agreement regarding the hook. For sparse patterns they really sparkle.

Interesting concoction, did you use any sort of glue to keep the
mono from wanting to follow itself back the front ???
Those AJ hooks truly are easy on the eye.

Hank, no glue, just significant tension. If the wraps move after several fish, count me as a very content angler.

ok, interesting thanks.
Might have to try that.

Inspired! Crisp and clean, with a hint of citrus (color) and a beautiful finish (head).

I really like this one. The body is amazing too.
