McFlyLures 0 Report post Posted May 19, 2017 Trout, bass, pike and any other predatory freshwater fish will eat other fish. Small trout are on the meal list for common foods. Even trout will eat trout fry. This rainbow trout streamer will work great for many freshwater species. It moves nicely in the water, and has a bit of a jigging action. These fish skull baitfish heads are awesome! They make building heads easier, and it hides any problems or issues that you have with your flies head and dubbing. It also pushes everything rearward and automatically creates a nice baitfish profile. I caught a few smallmouth bass on this recently at my local lake. The fly swims really nicely, and the smallmouth were eating it up left and right. I also have caught a good sized brown on this fly recently as well.

vicrider 0 Report post Posted May 20, 2017 I don't have the exact materials you used but similar. I'm going to work on a couple of those for the White River trip I hope to take this fall. Nice video. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
McFlyLures 0 Report post Posted May 20, 2017 Thanks! Yeah I think you could substitute many of the materials. As long as you have a rabbit strip, you should be good. Some type of dubbing tail on the underside could work as well. But I'm sure you have marabou. As for the dubbing head, use laser dub if you have it, it will work pretty well.
