Epoxy minnows

Recommended Posts

I was tying some walleye flys and giving them epoxy heads and really liked the look. I decided to make the whole fly with epoxy and am pretty pleased with the results. I gave them 2-3 layers of led wire to get them down fast to where the fish are. What do you guys think. Good or not so good of and idea.

 

Thanks

They looks good. I have them in that style but mainly use them on crappies and bass so there is no question they will on walleye.

 

 

Are you fishing in a kayak on lake Erie?

I think they look good. I have never fished anything in that style but it would be worth a try for bait fish eaters.

Those look great. A marabou tail with some supple flash material really adds some seductive action too. The LMB down here like those especially when they are feeding on schools of shad.

Superb! I've never fished for Walleye's, but understand they're often found near the bottom, and expect where you're going will have a rocky bottom. I think I would make something similar on a jig hook, to have the point up for reducing snagging. You also might consider adding a rattle inside the body. smile.png

They look pretty good. The suggestion of adding some marabou to the tail, in addition to the Krystal Flash, is a good one. That will give them more movement.

 

Let us know how they work out for you.

That is a good idea, adding a bit of marabou will give it some nice movement, thanks.
