eide 0 Report post Posted February 7, 2014 I like it! What do you use for hackle? I've seen a lot of great tubes that use Opossum lately, should get some packs of that soon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FlyFishin'Jam 0 Report post Posted February 7, 2014 That is kool! We get 'lake run brown trout' which essentially is a sea trout that come into the rivers during fall, the ones i have caught took a very similar coloured fly. Might just have to copy this, thanks!

Piker20 0 Report post Posted February 7, 2014 Here in UK the pink blue combos are often quoted as only being useful in rivers that see snow melt. Certainly for the clear salt water those colours work lovely. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tulop 0 Report post Posted February 7, 2014 Thanks guys! The blue hacke is ostrich spey plume and the pink is marabou bloodquill! Yeah Am.opossum is great for bigger flies, it doesn't suck up much water so it's easy to cast, and moves like crazy. here is a video by johan bertilsson with a am.opossum in action! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hYpJDaHKTEQ Yeah it's a pretty usefull cold water fly, anywhere i guess. i only fish these flies when it's like below 4-5C degrees in the water. /Anton Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
