AndrewP 0 Report post Posted October 5, 2015 There was no fishing this weekend due to high winds, so I spent time at the vice. Working on redfish fly patterns, and this is what I've come up with so far ....First, slightly modified Clousers in copper and gold, tied on a size 4 jig hook ....Next, a crab fly made from EP-Streamer Brush w/Tarantula legs ...Next, some Supreme Hair Shrimps with mods. I am using a jig hook, but setting it hook-up. You might be able to see it; there is a rattle attached to the underside of the fly ....Some Kwan/Toad-style ties; also on jig hooks, also with a rattle underneath. I probably will go back and add eyes to these guys .....And finally, an all-rabbit bunny fly that hopefully will have a minnow/shrimp look when wet .... this one hook rides down, Owner Mosquito #1, and added a wire weedguard.I'll tie up some additional stuff in black, and these will be the primary styles and colors when hunting reds in the Fall/Winter ....AP Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just used the light-based epoxy stuff and glued directly in-line to the hook shank. The shrimp rattles were done with thread and then a little glue ....

Betty 0 Report post Posted October 26, 2015 These have been good to me in Lousiana, they have to be big according to my guide. Always need a Crease Fly with a rattle for topwater action. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
