TheCream 0 Report post Posted December 14, 2012 I decided since I didn't have enough addictions to deal with, I'd throw fly fishing for muskies in there, too. I have done a lot of research on some possible locations here in Ohio, plan to recon two of them tomorrow, and started tying some big gnarly patterns. Here's some of what I have made up to this point. Most of these are tied on 4/0 Trokar hooks, Mustad 3/0 tarpon hooks, and 6/0 Gamakatsu SL12's. Size ranges from about 5" up to 12" in total length.

ditz 0 Report post Posted December 14, 2012 Those are some nice looking flies but I bet you ain't casting them with a 5wt. Never hunted muskie nor do I ever plan to but it they won't eat those they have the stomach flu. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Never hunted muskie nor do I ever plan to but it they won't eat those they have the stomach flu. There will be no 5wt involved...9wt and 10wt. Mostly I am going to focus on a few streams that have fish. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Piker20 0 Report post Posted December 14, 2012 Great looking flies. The deer hair ones will fish great on a sunk line, popped up of the bottom. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tidewaterfly 0 Report post Posted December 18, 2012 Great looking flies! If you need still another addiction, Striped Bass, even the "Wipers", would eat any of them too! Wouldn't surprise me if you don't catch some really big LM or SM bass on them as well! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
