Hello everyone,
Unbelievable fly tyers on this forum. The patterns shown here are all so awesome. I hope I'm not going to embarass myself but I think this latest fly of mine has potential. This is my very first post here, I fish mostly for trout but also fish for bass once or twice a year, so I tye mostly trout flies.
After spending a bit of time this winter sitting on the bench, I came up with this pattern for a crawdad/fish day-dreaming of fishing for bass and some other warm-water to fish. It's hard to do that kind of fishing sometime up here in MT. Anyway, to break the monotony of tying trout flies, I tinkered and came up with this....and hope y'all like it.
Stoner Dad. Size 1/0 bass worm hook. I designed it specifically for largemouth hence, the big 1/0 hook. The body/tail section has a heavy lead wrap inside, which also helps to keep the hook upright and for added weight. This hook will also allow me to add a weed guard as an option. I'm hoping to fish this out in the next couple of weeks. Wish me luck, hope I didn't jinx myself for posting this here first . I'll give more details/recipe in a couple of weeks after my warm-water trip.

I also came up with a shrimp fly pattern but will post that for another thread some other time so not to veer off the thread. Hope to share more flies/tales with you guys.
I just noticed that I'm a "bait fisherman", hilarious and so appropriate for my first post. :headbang:
