    Try making another small bird lure with wings that operate similar to the mojo dove where the wings are attached together on an "axle" and the retrieval causes the rotating swimming look.

    Fun fact :those dark blue and bright blue colored kingfishers were actually the same color. Their feathers have a strongly metallic /pearlescent effect to them, making them change (perceived) color depending on the direction of the light hitting them.

    I'm a building inspector by profession. Once in a while, I've met some pretty cool people though my job. One of the funnest to meet was Henry Hoffman, famous for breeding barred rock roosters that didn't moult, and would grow extremely long neck hackles. He's world famous among fly tiers, and I was there, to inspect his furnace. Winding up this long story, he showed me two fishing flies he'd tied, one was a hummingbird, that was stunning. The other was a barn swallow, and had very small damselfly fishing fly in it's mouth. The blue kingfisher remined me of this. What a great guy he was to visit with.

    I've been so lucky to have a male Kingfisher perch on my fishing rods a number of times when I've been carp fishing on the Wentworth Lakes (not a river) in Yorkshire, England! Stunning vibrant colours and somewhat tame little fellow. Just a flash of bright blue and buzzing of it's wings as it dart's past then returns to my trio of waiting rod tips. It's more like a loud pitch screach, really ear piercing as it lands and takes off!
