March Flies From The Vise

Recommended Posts

These are some bass size mop flies I've been paying with.

 

These two are intended for salt water. My attempt at a Cinder Worm. We have a decent hatch on the South Jersey shore. I'm leaning toward the floating one, since they often swim on the surface.

These are for bass or anything else that will take them. I also plan to do them as a surface fly using the same head configuration.

These are the result of a question from a newbie on another wondering if he could tie a PT nymph on a size 18 shrimp/caddis pupa hook. Nothing fancy, no wing case or legs. Normally, I would tie them as soft hackles. I've done well on Valley Creek, local wild trout stream. Smaller one is tied on a size 18 TMC 2488, the larger one is tied on a size 18 TMC 101.

A mountain stream rainbow, to be served to a Florida saltwater fish in freshwater.

That's a great looking streamer mate

 

Thanks!

Very cool Kimo, I always love seeing your work.

Same here. I don’t comment much about his posts because it’s just a given all his work is outstanding!

My flopping shad pattern in baby bass, first time I tried stacking the hair usually I just spin a solid color for the head, this one pattern in white and grey has always worked well for me. Size 2 b10s and a 3/4 shank.

Gotta work on my foam technique! Bucktail seems too long on the SB & Gurgler. Too much UV Resin on the Duke Nukem but that's b/c I srewed up tying in the foam. They'll fish though...
