I don't think there is an original tier as well he said it was a really popular live bait. See how I got started on this is I tied a few random patterns just to see if the fish would go for it. Just filling the fly box with my own creations. I showed the one to the bait store owner and well he said it looked like a Mouse E Bug. He said it was really popular live bait. So I guess I must be the original tier. I am going to get to work on the color variation he wanted. He said they use them for crappie and blue gill. He definitly said it was a popular live bait. I just wish I could find one as well it would help to have a picture of it. Otherwise I am going to make it just like the other one except green chennille instead of the rainbow chennille I used. I am going to ask the guy more about this bug next time I see him. Since it is a bait shop and it is supposed to be popular maybe he carries them and I can trade him my fake ones for the real deal or maybe even just get a lead on them.
