TheCream 0 Report post Posted September 20, 2016 is there weight on the shank? rich mc Cray Tail (but they are super light), wraps of .020, and a tungsten bead belly-scratcher style to help keel it and get the sink rate right. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Skip Matthews 0 Report post Posted September 20, 2016 I am posting a fly for the first time. So here goes this is a bass fly actually it is a bass plug for an 8wt fly rod. The body is made out of a used wine bottle cork. The shaft is a 2 1/8” articulated shank. The front hook eye is a wire weed guard I tied to the shaft. The lip is a Wapsi Genuine Fly Lipp I purchased from J. Stockard tied on to the front of the shaft. 00 Split rings are used to connect the hooks to the fly. I am using split rings so I can convert the fly to a single one barbed hook if I’m fishing in an area where a single hook is required. I formed the body using a half round #2 rasp and sandpaper. I have retired for the fourth time, and my wife and I are planning on moving back into our lake house on Lake Bistineau. It is located a few miles south of Minden, LA. I will mainly be fishing for bass and pan fish so I have been making warm water flies such as shallow diving and popping bass flies. Any comments are welcome.

Bimini15 0 Report post Posted September 20, 2016 It will never cease to amaze me how Eide and others can tie such clean flies in such small hooks, and even smaller. One day I will learn. Maybe. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
