cgolf 0 Report post Posted March 6, 2009 New to this site, but a vet of riversmallies. This l is an awesome fly, got to fish it once this season and picked up a bonus small brown trout while targeting smallies right at the end of the season. Once the smallie season reopens I am looking forward to using this fly, and may even give it a go for early season trout too. I could easily see this becoming my go to fly for smallies this year. Thanks cgolf Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nu2trout 0 Report post Posted March 6, 2009 I know a guy that ties these and adds a foam tail on the end, in a delta shape. Nice looking worm. How does it cast with the weighted head? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cgolf 0 Report post Posted March 6, 2009 It actually cast pretty well for me. If anything it was hard to move it through the air due to the bulk of the fly. For me the weight was not an issue, but to be fair I am used to throwing big heavy bass flies so this thing was a cinch. I was using a 6 weight when I fished it. Due to the bulk I would probably not go lighter then that. I did tie mine rather large though (size 2 mustad 3366 hook). cgolf Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
siestafred 0 Report post Posted March 7, 2009 Right, weight is not really an issue but it is a bit bulky to cast, particularly if the wind is up. Fred Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
