Old Hat 0 Report post Posted October 1, 2008 A meat and potatoes fly. I tie them big. No finesse to fishing them just chuck and strip. Also great in a natural brown with the chartreuse eyes and legs. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

oatka 0 Report post Posted October 1, 2008 I tossed a popper with those legs just last saturday....caught a bass! You'll need to find a bigger bass though, that fly is huge! Very nice! Hey, it's Twofingerz! Nice looking fly for pike, huh? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Old Hat 0 Report post Posted October 1, 2008 I fish these on a fly fishing only lake here in Oregon. It used to be a trophy trout fishery but has since become a bass fishery due to some introductions. So now it is a fly fishing only trophy bass fishery basically. Bass averaging 5-10lbs.

Twofingerz 0 Report post Posted October 2, 2008 pike fly for sure. and in natural brown it would be a sure fire hit. pike are concentrating on round gobies right now and brown is the color of choice. actually the smallies are doing the same so brown would work for either. the weed beds are dying back and the gobies are running out of places to hide so now the predators are really keying in on them in the shallower waters. a couple from last weekend and the newest addition to the boat.

Dave-O 0 Report post Posted February 28, 2009 I might also add that it may work well casting for walleyes. My home lake here in Iowa is pretty shallow and full of decent sized walleyes thanks to a slot limit. I also fish some farm ponds where this would be deadly, I may try it with a red and black color scheme, or a black and olive w/black redflake rubber legs. I know the black/chart. will kill the walleyes, they love anything white, chartreuse, and/or shiny with some action to it. :yahoo: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Old Hat 0 Report post Posted February 28, 2009 The Wookie resurrected. Dave-O those sound like some great color schemes. Also, I've used just a natural barred brown for the body color then bright eyes and rubber legs with much success. Also, another variation is to use a solid color tail with the white leather strip and color the strip with a marker to your choice. A few Krystal flash strands under the tail is another variation I've done. Good luck, and don't forget to duck on the forward cast. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
