niveker 0 Report post Posted February 27, 2020 Looking at last year's successful patterns and trying some variations. Both tied on 5/0 hooks. IMG_0314.jpg Nice ties, but is looks like you stole my coffee mug. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MuskyFlyGuy 0 Report post Posted February 28, 2020 A pattern on a 5/0 hook I call "The Mike". In a concession to fishability rather than authenticity, the haircut is on the bottom. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kimo 0 Report post Posted February 28, 2020 Just Another Nymph Tarcher Style Hook - TMC 206BL Head - Red Tungsten Bead (MFC) Abdomen - CDL Tail - Boars Hair Abdomen Tuft/Thorax - CDC Legs - Hares Mask Guard Hairs Wing Case - Mottled Brown (Stalcups Original Medallion Sheeting), UV Knot SenseThis fly doesn't necessarily represent anything. I like to throwit just above the water line when I see the smallies rootingaround for bugs and crawdads in the rocks before the Sunhas even come up. I'll pull it into the water and just let it sitfor a second before I twitch it.The takes can be explosive and startling when you are only15 feet away with a 4 weight in a tube.The reason for the 4 wt is that I'm not as beat up at the endof a day. If you do it right and you know how the fish is goingto react you can land her pretty quickly.You can just imagine that red eye staring you down.Kimo Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
