getholdofjoru 0 Report post Posted March 9, 2010 I'm looking to tie up some patterns for some spring lake fishing and was looking through the database for some ideas. Of course, there are plenty of them in there to go through, so my question is: What are you favorite spring time/shallow fly patterns? For more info, I'm in Southwest Ohio if you have any ideas... Thanks!!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FishyboY 0 Report post Posted March 9, 2010 if you will be fishing later in spring and in warmer weather then a popper never hurts.... i always seem to have good luck on blue ones. Also large woolly buggers of various sizes. any bunny strip pattern.....crayfish patterns also work great for me! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Blackriverbowyer 0 Report post Posted March 19, 2010 I've had my best luck here in ohio on a black wolly bugger with pearl lead eyes and a red chenille collar behind the eyes. surprisingly the biggest bass i caught on my fly rod was on a stone fly nymph on a large flat. Ive also done very good wit dragon fly nymphs right next to weeds. and pigboats. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
