Guest Report post Posted September 5, 2003 What kind of material are you using to make the body of your flounders? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Guest Report post Posted September 5, 2003 Will, I am using thin foam with epoxy top..but I am revising this to use a "plastic" body... This fly will be in Fly Tyer (I hope) in the spring... since I screwed up the timing and will miss the winter issue. Look for Rich Murphy's Lobster in the the next issue.... BTW.. the top is Tan Mallard flank and dotted...but dotted sparingly... based on my observations. You can make these any shade of the sand bottom you are working with. Also, and the most important is that it has two lead dumbell eyes..spaced along the hook shank to let it land flat and then skip along the bottom , like a flounder. Short strips..stop... then again.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Guest_striblue Report post Posted September 5, 2003 BTW.. I know you have a new board and love the idea of a "tying" board... I am now in Chatham on the Cape and my post just came though as "Guest". I am posting from my lap top here... and I could not post a Striped Bass fly.. that is a fly tied to look like a little striped bass...This is just FYI Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
