Chefben4 0 Report post Posted April 12, 2013 This is what I call a 2 beer fly. Took forever! I have no idea what this thing is going to do. It was mostly me taking two staple patterns I sell and putting them together. I plan on giving it a whirl on the full sink line. This weekend Im going to make some "divers" by reversing the head so Ill be able to try that out. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kirk Dietrich 0 Report post Posted April 12, 2013 Excessive...Hell yeah! But practical for the fish you're throwing for. Nice looking! When you reverse it to dive, you might have to knock a little off of that bump (doesn't have to be as drastic as a Dahlberg is trimmed, just reduce some of the floatation and create a little slope) or you may wound up with a slider it the front rides to high but that would be ideal for fishing on a sink tip.

Kirk Slider would be a more appropriate term Kirk! You are correct for an actual diver I would have to alter its shape! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A guide in VA actually is buying quite a few of them. Hoping to get some pictures this year of caught fish on flies I sell! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
