chrisfish 0 Report post Posted September 5, 2006 nice fish herman! I'll try to get you a pic. of an american fish with your fly :thumbup: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
majestyja 0 Report post Posted September 6, 2006 hey herman, my mother lives in varkaus finland and I have caught hundreds of those fish that you posted. I must admit that I didn't use a fly rod back then but it was still fun Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Big Todd 0 Report post Posted September 6, 2006 Well guys this is what I call Big Todd's Copper Squirrell. The picture is a bit blurry so I'll give you some details. Tail--Squirrell tail fibers.(eastern grey) Body--Squirrell dubbing Rib--Fine copper wire Wing casing--You guessed it, squirrell tail The hook is a mustad size 16 with a copper bead. I used to slay blue gills with these in ole NC. I haven't tried them in Montana yet. Would this fly be OK for the swap or would you prefer a more tested pattern? :dunno: There is no lead in this fly so it sinks slow, I think that's why the blue gills love 'em :thumbsup: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gregg A 0 Report post Posted September 6, 2006 Good looking fly big todd. If it works good in NC, I'll give it a try in SC around Thanksgiving. The idea of the swap is to have fun and check out everybodys pattern, so whatever you like to tie is good enough. :headbang: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
