Trying to do a blue gizzard shad. I've seen them thru the ice so I had an idea about color. I found a pic from msu website about the die off that helped some. The pics don't really show it but I have a blue scaled back light blueish silver scale sides and a pearl belly with grey over scale gold behind head and purplish black kill spot. These are not cleared yet as I ran out of eyes and need to order more. They look cool now. I cant wait to see with the clear on.

They all look great! I really like your bluegill ;D I don't know if you've ever seen this site, but I've used it in the past when trying to figure out patterns: http://www.tnfish.org/PhotoGalleryFish_TWRA/FishPhotoGallery_TWRA/TWRAFishPhotoGallery.htm
Just it a couple of weeks ago on tackleunderground. I wish I could get a good pick of st.clairs shad. I had my brother trying to get me one but with ice out just around the corner not likley. Thank you for the compliments about the bluegill pattern. I have three different variations i've been playing with but really don't have a fav.
Very nice! :)
