This morning I didnt know what a higa sos was, but they intrigued me, so I tyed up a couple. What do you think the 12 on the point and the 16 about 18" up? I think it might work, and thanks to the guys on that string.

 

 

G59 you usually do pretty well with the bows, is this one of the patterns you use for them?

No fshng2 this is a new pattern for me, I will let you know how it works. What are good producers for bows on the freestone river I fish are black spiders and pats rubber legs (14 to 10}.

Never heard of pats rubber legs.

Looked it up, it's got great reviews.

Reminds me a little like Everett's Bluegill Fly.

Thanks for sharing, I'll have to tie some up.

 

Your welcome, my pleasure.

Very nice, that will catch fish. What is that bead and where did you get it?

 

Very NICE. Way to start the month fshng2,flytire,retrocarp. You should be able to throw those in a couple (3) weeks without ice in the guides.

I can throw them now it's our summer here in Australia

Sorry Mate I looked outside and thought there was snow and cold everywhere.
