Capt Bob LeMay 0 Report post Posted March 2, 2019 Retro, here's a bug we use a lot in the 'glades whenever the fish are feeding on small bait (glass minnows, etc.). Looking at the weedguard you can assume it's going into bad places. This is my version of Norm's Crystal Schminnow - we do it in size 4 and size 2.... It's deadly on small tarpon up to around ten pounds... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

olive_dabbler 0 Report post Posted March 3, 2019 CorixaHook: Hayabusa 761 #12Rib: Silver wireWing case and legs: Pheasant tailBody: Madeira metallic Col. 300Thread: Danville 6/0 blackThis Corixa (lesser water boatman) pattern has its roots in a pattern attributed to Dr Bell of Blagdon, a pioneer of Stillwater fly fishing in the UK in the early 20th century. John Veniard, who wrote several seminal books on fly tying in the 1960s and 70s, cites an article in the Fishing Gazette of April 1958 where this and several other of Dr Bell’s flies are described by a Col. Esmond Drury. Dr Bell’s original pattern uses a body of white or cream floss and a wing case of woodcock wing fibres using a cream throat hackle to imitate the legs. The body on this pattern is tied with Madeira metallic thread, which gives it a rather nice transparency, simulating the air bubble that these insects use to breath underwater.

Noahguide 0 Report post Posted March 4, 2019 Still tying on the road. Very well done Noahguide and I imagine more difficult to tie on the road vs from the comforts of home. Fshng2, thanks. I enjoy tying on the road but Vice stability, lighting, and those things I swear I packed that are sitting on my bench at home are always a challenge.
