beaverfsu 0 Report post Posted November 26, 2006 Ok Salties, here is your chance. What do you use the MOST? My apologies for any missed categories. :coffee: Before I get creamed: :gunsmilie: Salmon flies are so unique, they get their own cat. Some might say the same about tarpon or bonefish flies....

ashley 0 Report post Posted November 26, 2006 Its hard to vote what I use the most. So went for the with hackle of some kind, does a hackle of marabou count? this year I was mostly using Beastmasters (small), with clousers pretty close. Ashley Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JJD 0 Report post Posted November 29, 2006 This year was a big change for me to bendbacks. I can toss them into the mangroves and have a reasonable chance of getting them out! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sean Juan 0 Report post Posted December 5, 2006 The fly I use the most is a synthetic baitfish - similar to a deciever in function if not form. Just an aside "saltwater" is a pretty big place - what works in one area may not work in another even if you are targeting the same species. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Morgan 0 Report post Posted December 8, 2006 I voted for the Deceiver but my favorites these days are Bucktail Deceiver, Flatwing, Jiggy and Rubber Candy, with occasional Mega Mushy when blues are eating adult bunker. These are for stripers & blues on Long Island. (Love those Bob Pop flies!) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
billb 0 Report post Posted December 10, 2006 I use Clousers more than anything else, but have promised myself that I'll tie and try a lot of new stuff this next season. Bill Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fly~Junkie 0 Report post Posted October 9, 2007 I Voted Clousers... but, like others, I use alot of different Patterns as the situation dictates... :headbang: DEAN ~~~ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kodiaksalmon 0 Report post Posted October 22, 2007 I dunno. I gotta have rabbit in there somewhere. Kinda hard to put in a Clouser or Deciever, so I voted, "other wets." Jeff Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bowfin47 0 Report post Posted November 15, 2007 I know that in some arenas this is sacrilege, but when sight casting/fly fishing for redfish in shallow waters, the very best "fly" is a gold spoon fly that "flutters"! Therefore, I had to vote for epoxied... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stinky 0 Report post Posted November 15, 2007 Hey bowfin I 100% agree. I have had tremendous luck with gold epoxy spoon flies. Not only do they catch reds but almost everything else too. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sherry 0 Report post Posted November 16, 2007 I myself, like using the deceivers. I think because it's about the only saltwater fly that I can tie at this point in my flyfishing career!!!! I am fairly new at this whole fly fishing thing. Been working on it for a year now. Started in saltwater and have recently relocated to Colorado, so now I have to figure out how to fish and tie freshwater. Oh the challenge never ceases!!!
