Headed out to chase timber goats this afternoon and figured I’ll be up and wanting to tie after freezing in the timber, plus I’ve wanted to give more foam a shot. Good chance I’ll brutally screw it up, but one has to try right? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Squeezy 0 Report post Posted November 21, 2022 Well no luck in the timber- saw a lone yearling and a doe with her 2 closely following. Sure was frigid this evening. Here is my Charlie Boy Hopper. Also tied one in a dark brown with yellow legs and bleached deer hair. The next fly is: Mop Fly Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Squeezy 0 Report post Posted November 21, 2022 Thank you gentlemen. I really liked tying that fly. I’m assuming I could up the hook and go to 3mm or glue 2ea 2mm sheets and make a larger version for bass. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Charlie boy and Charlie baby boy are two of my go to hopper patterns. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
