smalliestalker 0 Report post Posted February 25, 2011 This is an all wool bodied weighted bluegill with a Fly Lipp upside down on it. When casted out, it sinks, then when stripped it actually rises wiggling towards the surface....Should smack some buckets this spring.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fly Samurai 0 Report post Posted February 28, 2011 i have to say, speaking from first hand knowledge, your flies are definitely not too pretty to fish! Because as beautiful as they are to look at they are twice as nice in action. Hope to see the upward swimming patterns in action too. Excellent job, sir, excellent job.

Fly Samurai 0 Report post Posted February 28, 2011 thank you....Fly Samurai...you were able to put one in the water? ...due tell Well, I only have the beautiful ones you sent me here in Pensacola, and while I haven't pit them into "full attack" mode, I intend to as soon as the water warms in our lakes. Down here we are looking at a couple of weeks or so. BUT i don't have to catch fish to know a fly "will" catch fish. Your creations have an action that has to be irresistible to fish. I am really curious how the upward turned lipp produces in terms of both action and strike. Do you know at what rate the fly falls after it's ascent? How heavily weighted is it? I would suspect that from the look of your fly it would perform much as a suspended pattern with a slow fall and an even swim. No matter, it is a beautiful design!
