my 3 best warmwater flies

[troutmaster08 0]

These are my 3 best patterns for warmwater fishing. I have caught many panfish and bass on these. The large wet fly shown is my favorite bass fly, I feel that the green dubbing against the olive hackle causes it to be noticeable but not too bright.

Those look interesting... Recipes? Might try those here at City Park...

I tied all of these on size six wet fly hooks but they can be tied on many sizes. All the thread is 6-0.

The first one:

Thread: Olive

Tail: Olive feather tip

Body: green dubbing

Hackle: Large soft hackle feather, Olive

The second one:

Thread: Olive

Tail: Olive hackle feather strands

Body: Olive dubbing

Hackle: Olive hackle feather

The third one:

Thread: Black

Tail: Black feather tip

Body: yellow dubbing

Hackle: Orange hackle feather

 

All of these will float some when first cast but are fished much better below the surface.

In the top picture do I see some woodduck or mallard tied in on top of the tail as well?
