GlobalFisher 0 Report post Posted September 1, 2005 I am planning on using it for some trout at a lake by my house. I am thinking it will be very effective for them. This fly looks like it will have a lot of action underwater. I didn't have any black legs so I substitued with some olive legs. Thanks for the tutorial Jerry!

Blueman89 0 Report post Posted September 1, 2005 I don't think the fish will really care about the front legs. If they do just color them with a marker. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GlobalFisher 0 Report post Posted September 1, 2005 I don't think they will either. Should work great! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Report post Posted September 1, 2005 Do you guys have hellgrammites up in AK? I didn't know if they would thrive in the colder climate up north or not. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GlobalFisher 0 Report post Posted September 1, 2005 Not really sure to be honest. I am not thinking so but we may. With the legs on the front and in some whites and browns it may work as an imitation for a baitfish. Without the legs it would be a killer leech imitation and we have those in the lake. We catch a ton every time we go, on buggers and leeches. I am thinking this fly is going to have some great underwater action. I am moving back to Oregon pretty soon though so I can use them on a wider variety of fish. I'm sure we have them in Oregon. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Joe Hard 0 Report post Posted September 1, 2005 I was looking for olive legs. Then I saw the antenna. They look good on that fly. Cant see a problem with it. Except it getting torn to shreds by some trophy fish!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GlobalFisher 0 Report post Posted September 1, 2005 I tested it out last night at the lake and the fish went pretty crazy over it. A few times they hit the fly before it ever had a chance to sink. I cast then it made the rings, then right after a fish got it. Nothing to big(biggest around 12"). My biggest out of this lake so far is about 17.5". They loved it!
