flykid 0 Report post Posted January 26, 2008 Nice flies and box. When I make a box for myself I might have you burn it for me (no no no not set it on fire) if you wouldn't mind. I'll gladly pay you for the work. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
flykid 0 Report post Posted January 26, 2008 Oh, some flies I would add are a plain old black foam spider with black rubber legs. The few gills I've caught on it attacked it! Also some parachute mosquitoes. The mosquitos use a black hacle fiber tail, grey body and grizzly hackle. Actually probably any old drab dry fly would probably work like the all purpose Adams!

bwo3 0 Report post Posted January 27, 2008 I like to use the skip morris panfish fly, I have a secret color but I'm telling. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
madkasel 0 Report post Posted January 27, 2008 Very nice looking box. For gills, a CDC & Elk is simple to tie and they absolutely KILL it. Just google it and look for Hans W.'s (a member here) video of it. He invented the dang thing! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mull Dover 0 Report post Posted February 9, 2008 Steelslayer, I tie a hares ear nymph using caddis green UV dubbing on a #14 or #12 mustad 9671 (If I recall correctly) a gold bead head and midge crystal flash for the wingcase and tail. This is a bonafied killer! It has taken tons of gills, LM bass, trout, wipers, crappie, perch and even a walleye for me. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
