coinman66 0 Report post Posted June 27, 2010 Dont know what to call this fly, so i came up with Jordan Creek Creature. I hope it catches some Smallies! Ive been tying a little over a year and try to come up with my own stuff. Sometimes it doesnt turn out the best, but i kinda liked this one so i thought i would post it. Thanks Frank Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JSzymczyk 0 Report post Posted June 28, 2010 That's pretty cool. My thought is that the herl antennae might not last very long though. Hopefully I'm wrong. I'm wrong a lot, just ask my wife! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My wife says the same thing! I will take a broken antennae for a 3lb Smallie! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Steve P 0 Report post Posted June 29, 2010 If that bad mother doesn't catch a monster nothing will... I'm gonna up-size that and tie some for large mouth this weekend. I too would take a couple broken antennae for a 3lb anything!! you know I wouldn't be surprised in the least to smack a big ole catfish in the side of the head with it.

Its a size 4 TMC 200R hook, Brown fuzzy felt, Lead dumbell eyes and a little green Ice dubbing around eyes if this helps. Cut the felt to whatever shape you like. I guess for a bulkier body you could wrap chenellie around hook and then put felt over it? Frank Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BigDaddyHub 0 Report post Posted June 29, 2010 Frank, Try this for an experiment....fish the pattern as is, then split the tail with a pair of scissors and fish it....would make a killer craw hybrid fly. Splitting the the tail may enpart movement, like the swimming motion of a hellgrammite, but it may also give a pincher like look...just an idea.....post some pics of your results! Should be a good fly, my man. Has some good hallmarks for a branze buster. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
coinman66 0 Report post Posted July 1, 2010 Sounds like a great idea Big Daddy. I will try this fly in black too. Frank Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Steve P 0 Report post Posted July 2, 2010 Can I ask that you put it in the patterns database so I have a reference to go back on long after I have given them all away or broke hem off in trees???? I have a tendency to tie something I really like and not keep one extra around for visual reference later on when I am trying to reproduce it... and most of the time I lost my last one in the rocks or stumps a couple months ago so I can't remember how to tie it!!
