Ok Wave here is the materials list for you for the jelly fish fly.

round wire to weight the hook
1 strand of pearl flashabou
1 strand of opal mirage flashabou
1 pack medium ice chenille in brown or root beer
1 pack medium chenille in gold
1 heavy duty baggie


Wrap hook shank...1/4 inch from eye to 1/4 inch before hook bend with round wire
Put the 2 strands of flashabou together, fold and cut, fold around the thread and wrap to top of hook shank behind round wire.
Next strip 1/4 inch off both chenilles, twist together, tie in where the flashabou is tied in and wrap thread to eye of hook.
Wrap chenilles together around hook, wrapping forward all the way to the eye of the hook and tie down with the thread and whip finish...cut thread.
Take baggie at the point and fold so the side edge and bottom edge meet and cut at 90 degrees 1/4 inch longer than hook...measure and cut so baggie with a slight outward curve so it is same length as hook.
next cut the point of the baggie less than 1/16 th of inch and slid over eye of hook Reattach thread and tie the baggie down with thread.
Coat thread with flex cement or head cement. Your done!

Lee, I checked in with the "video guy"........he appreciated your efforts and five takes to get the light "right". Hey, our appreciation out here for a simple, and well thought out pattern and presentation. I only hope you remembered the settings for the next one........'cause the techy part starts like this: locate something called "Profiling", then Color/Space management. After that, look for Color Profile assignment. Basically, these elements have something to do with adjusting light and color for videos within your system for "alignment" with what we see out here. Geeze. Let's just go fishing instead. I fully expect you to post my first "Spade" on the fly.

Thanks again for your efforts, Lee JimBob

Wow, never saw a fly like that before. Guess it must be good for southern species. Is there any fish in the north east that eat jellies? I just thought turtles fed on them.

Would think bass or weakies might hit it thinking it was some sort of crab or shrimp. Nice to see something different. Nice job.
