siestafred 0 Report post Posted March 13, 2008 This is a very effective fly designed by Capt. Rick Grassett, a guide here in Sarasota. I made a couple of small modifications, but it's still basically his. It works for Snook, Trout, and Redfish. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JJD 0 Report post Posted March 13, 2008 Nice tie. It is a great, effective fly. I've used it down here in Naples and farther south Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

letumgo 0 Report post Posted March 15, 2008 Great pattern, Fred! Looks like it would be killer on smallmouth bass as well. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kirk Dietrich 0 Report post Posted February 25, 2011 That's a great fly! Also, a great tie by you. Funny how names go, we call that a Cactus Charlie over here in Southeast Louisiana; have been doing so since the late 1980's. I think I saw it tied by Pete Cooper around 1987 give or take a couple years. I have since started tying a loop dubbed head over and in front of the eyes.

siestafred 0 Report post Posted February 26, 2011 Thanks Kirk ! Funny how things go, lately I've switched over mostly to Crab patterns for almost all the species here. I should get it out again and give it a try.... Fred Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
