Title: Georgetown jig
Post by: 1442 on March 24, 2016, 08:22:46 pm

This was gonna be another Georgetown flake point till I got through with it and it was sumppin else.
I took a few process pics as I went along then used some elm bark strips for a skirt and got a good start on a tree ply braided sinew string over wrapped with sinew strands for connection to a switch cane pole.

Here's the jig first, followed by the process pics

     Yep, some feathers, and call it a "Flintstone Special"!  Use it to catch an "Ichysaurus" or however it is spelled.
     Nice.

I do like feathers too, just didn't have any like I wanted that weren't died chartreuse.

Gonna use bucktail hair on some to.

I been workin a lot but wont be long fore I hit the water all primitive.

I know a special place on an old river bottom lake on the Neches river near Silsbee TX, where some Indians camped up on top of a bluff bank over looking the upper end of shade lake. I want to do it there and film what happens, and how to catch minnows with a yeller banana spider web and stuff like that. I think the recent flood waters have receded in the area and it will need to clear up some but I be like ready, first chance I get.

Ha!  Now that I would definitely set the DVR for.  Another awesome one.  Man, you got me wanting to try that.  I just don't seem to remember when I set down to knap.  Been drying a cane pole and I think that would be a pretty fun challenge.
