March Flies From The Vise

Just a little tip you might want to try. Have fun Denduke!

 

The lakes here in Dixie have lotta chironomids in them so been using popper dropper. Problem is tying a clinch knot to the popper hook bend is causing missed strikes. Need a better way to allow bream to get it in their mouths better.

Even when I get to go trouting I use hopper dropper; why use indicator w/o a hook in it... These lil foams oughta work fine for that too

 

I've been trying to find a picture, but what you could do is tie a loop of mono off the back of the hook, like what folks tie to keep a tail from fouling, but smaller. Use that mono loop as your attachment point for the dropper. If I find a picture I'll post it. I'm going to give this a try this spring! Thanks for sharing!

The month is still young, such good work. Banner month on tap it seems.

A few DDTs in size 22.

On those little foam flys you could tie a loop of beadalon in like the you would to make an articulated streamer but weigh adding a second hook to tie your dropper onto.

I've been having fun filling boxes this month before the weather changes for the better. My caddis box is now complete with the latest additions of the F2 Caddis Pupa.

And A lighter Color

I don't tie 24s anymore, but tied enough of them years ago to have real respect for your work.

Denduke ... do you have a profile picture of these ...

 

Or a link to an SBS?

The fly? or something else? I think I designed the fly myself but no-one can ever be too sure about pattern originality anymore. With seven billion people on this planet, it's likely that it's been done before.
