Ward's Jointed Minnow

Click for larger view

The Jointed Minnow is a articulated streamer that is composed of two hooks - one for the tail and another for the body - joined together to make a great baitfish imitation for smallmouth bass and other big fish that eat little fish. I have shown several folks at fly fishing shows and conclaves how it is made and reports from anglers that have fished it have been very positive.

Hawkeye Fly Tyer

My favorite fly tying materials dealer is "Hawkeye Fly Tyer" owned by my fishing buddy Mike Jacobs who also owns a couple of clothing stores in Eastern Iowa.

I live in a major metropolitan area that has four fly tying materials outlets but I still buy most of my materials from Mike because he has what I want. If he doesn't have it he will get it for me. Mike will deal with you personally by phone and his prices can't be beat. Give him a call the next time you need materials. You won't be disappointed.

By the way, Mike Jacobs has virtually every material I use to tie the fly patterns on Warmwaterflytyer. If he doesn't have a material that you need I'm sure he will find it for you.
