dafack01 0 Report post Posted August 26, 2008 Electric Chicken (chartreuse over pink) is a really popular and productive color around the Georgia coast so I tied up a few clousers in Electric Chicken. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
flatsdancer 0 Report post Posted August 27, 2008 It also been a productive color here in south Florida too. I use it both in soft plastic when I use my spinning gear and flies when I use my fly gear. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dafack01 0 Report post Posted August 27, 2008 Funny enough I had yet to catch anything on Electric Chicken plastics! I tied some up a few weeks ago and hadn't caught anything. So I tied on one of these and instantly started catching fish! Including my first Redfish on the fly! They were all little guys but they were agressive and put a decent little bend in the ol 8wt!

Chalk 0 Report post Posted September 2, 2008 That's a good fly to use over here in the panhandle. I caught some baby grouper on that fly last year. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VARick 0 Report post Posted September 5, 2008 I see you put both colors above the eyes. Is there a purpose to doing that? Normally I put one below and one above the eye. That is also a popular color in the Tampa area, fly and plastic. I can't keept the trout off of the nuclear chicken Gulp's Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I noticed bucktail gets frayed a bit when fishing in and around oyster rakes, but the fly was holding up well enough. Heck, most flies I'll probably loose before they get too beat up anyways. I just saw Lefty Kreh tie his like this in a video on how to tie saltwater flies and thought they might be a bit more durable like this, so I tried tying them like this. I figure if it's good enough for Lefty it's good enough for me! And for some reason I never have been very keen on tying one clump on top and one on bottom. I've always thought that looked a bit goofy. I like this way because you can get the bucktail clumps more even and fishy-looking. So I tied them like this for no real good reason.

dafack01 0 Report post Posted September 9, 2008 That's one fish on my bucket list. One of these days I'm gonna head up to the great lakes to try my hand at some steelhead! Heck, I need to catch a decent sized Redfish on the fly first. I tied a clouser in this color combo in EP fibers as well: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tidewaterfly 0 Report post Posted November 3, 2008 I like that color combination also. I tie some seaducers & bendbacks in it as well as clousers. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
