denduke 0 Report post Posted March 18 Can’t tell but Kudos on the traditional splayed hackle tails and matching hackle wraps.👍 I like to take pliers and needle and insert legs but prolly not necessary… Take lil pause before setting the hook will increase hook ups.

Back in the 1980's it was readily available. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SalarMan 0 Report post Posted March 18 My kind of fly and trout love these simple patterns. Do they work for you on the streams you fish? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jcozzz 0 Report post Posted March 18 I like the double barrel poppers but have had much more success with my own balsa bass bugs,here are a couple mounted on stinger hooks to be dressed soon.These ride lower in the water and are more of a strip pause type bait.

jcozzz 0 Report post Posted March 18 DD- Nice work- i used to tie some little shrimp,kind of based on sow bugs and grass shrimp.We do have little shrimp not many and smaller than grass shrimp.I tied them similar to yours but put little attenae and tiny burnt mono eyes at the bend instead of the eye.The sunnies loved em and occasionally a crappie or bullhead.Good fun on 3wt fishing local ponds.I have a box somewhere of proto types of every halfway decent fly i ever came up with.Will try to find the tiny shrimp,was also a good baby crawdas pattern in DK brown.

These are for Ozark trouting to be drifted drag free. Could be taken as maybe mysis shrimp or even scuds. I have 2 shrimp patterns for the salt that work great that are forward. Slow strip and pause after jerk doesn’t matter. Mostly fish couple of them dangling under a click popper. Cdads? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
