Iso 0 Report post Posted June 7, 2021 I'll add more praise for the CDC and Elk. I vary the thread color and deer/elk hair depending on what I need. I've also been thinking about adding a trailing shuck. I just got back from a week at fish camp and a slate wing CDC and Elk was the hot fly (olive thread and gray wing).

Yes, bass is the intention, they are about 2” long. They work quite well. The tails move beautifully, just like any game changer. But the small size helps entice even the more weary bass. Ive not fished pickerel, so I can’t contest to its effectiveness with them. I’ve caught some trout with them also…. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Baron 0 Report post Posted June 8, 2021 Pickerel hit everything Bass, especially if its wearing a little white here or there. I bet they knock'em dead. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
