I've been tying up some flies for the Casting for Recovery retreat my salt water club is hosting on September 30th. It takes place on a private lake in South Jersey. Targets are bluegills, largemouth bass and chain pickerel.

Size 8 soft hackle, in pink and purple. Which my club president will tell me is way to big for bluegills.

 

 

Small minnow pattern suited for pan fish or bass. Tied on a size 8 hook using Senyo Laser Dub. Problem is tying the fly the same shape and size.

 

 

This is what I'd like them all to look like

 

 

 

This is my secret fly, just for the lady I guide. The lake in the fall has large schools of small sunfish in the shallows .which the bass literally line up to take shots at blowing up the school. Figure if she can get it to plop down near a hungry bass it will make her day.

SBPATT -- your excellent fly photos have front to back focus. Are you doing focus stacking?

No (had to look up "focus stacking" - that's a pretty cool technique). For whatever reason, my Canon p&s has a decent macro for taking pics of flies.

MuskyFlyGuy,

 

Reminds me of the Shannon --a simple white maribou-tailed, large chennile- bodied fly used mainly on schooling bass and freshwater stripers. Does yours have a name?

Mysis Shrimp. Its a simplified version to the realistic version. I just changed how I do the tail so now its almost identical to the realistic but faster and simpler.

 

Kimo has tied a few back a few months and there is a YouTube of the realistic tie.

Great tie Tom!

You will have to go to a TMC 2457 if you plan to fish that in the "Toilet Bowl".

Those fish are HUGE and just crush it!

 

The other thing is you'll need to learn how to tie them faster

because your friends are going to keep nicking these shrimp.
