Bluegill sized Stealth Bomber

Recommended Posts

Yeah I did very well with the yellow ones last summer. I tied up some bigger ones for bass and they did great.

I like those kinds of flies, but have a question: what is the purpose of the flash that sticks up in back... it seems that it would not be in the water for the fish to see.

The stealth bomber is actually a diver. When retrieved it dives and wiggles. And they sure catch fish!

stealth bombers are great in larger sizes I have problems with hookset on small gill sized gurglers. they seem to push the fly away with the wake going after it rich mc

That fly looks like it might float on its side rather than hook down. I tied some foam spiders with 2 layers of foam trying to get a higher float and they just floated on their side.

ditz, I have tied up a bunch of these and they all sit hook down, and then dip below the surface when stripped sort of like a dahlberg diver. Maybe try a heavier hook to act as a keel? But then I suppose that would negate the higher float you are looking for

Old thread, I know - I apologize.

 

But what hook type/size do folks use for bream-sized Stealth Bombers?

 

Thanks!
