Here is my latest batch of EP Flies. I hope the local Smallmouth like em! The big one is for Muskie. I like the baby Bluegill.

hell yeah! Bust dem bronze backs!
I love the EP flies look. Flyfisher 13 just ordered EP fibers in about 6 colors. I've only tied one fly with it, but it turned out great. Easy to work with and you can get great profiles with little material.
I would chuck your flies at bass anyday, Coinman.

Thanks BigDaddy. I would toss yours too! The less EP fiber you use the better. Hope you catch the big one!

Nice ties. I been tying them since the day they came out. If I had only one choice, it would be EP Style flies. BTW I tie them up to 15 inches using Congo hair but the best lengths have been good for muskies in the 5 to 8 inch range mostly.

Flies are great.just tied up about 40.Mostly on #6 thru 1/0.Going to Islmorada on 4/12 for 7-10 days.Used the Silky fibres on all but the 1/0s.Went to the regular fibres on those.Tied up a heap of small Clousers w/Silky too.Will be first timee I fish the EPs.Only problem I had was using way too much fibre&redid them.Im sure you can find a market for them on ebay.Have also spoke with Enrico 5 or 6 times& he has been real encouraging& helpful as well.Been buying from Stockard as it seems he has the best inventory& prices arent bad.Again,nice ties.FD

Thanks Everybody. Again, use less than what you think when using EP fibers.

A overdone EP is a great injured minnow bait on topwater! So if made a few like that then use them as they work well for certain times. I really like putting weed guards on them and pitch them in the nasties and quickly strip it on top.

try lowering the eyes on those closer to the hook shank or even half way below it then they wont roll over on the strip in
