Ridleyffo 0 Report post Posted August 10, 2009 A floating PMD nymph, a biot and herl soft hackle, and a gray hackle peacock soft hackle Charlee, have you fished that floating nymph? How would you fish that???, in fast water where a nymph may be ripping past? Do you fish it like an emerger with some twitches maybe???? Very interested!. I didnt forget about you (or Jan) either, I will load up a goody bags for you shortly. Bob Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Arkansas Mike 0 Report post Posted August 11, 2009 Those are sweet, Jan. I'd have to trim or pluck out those curly elk hairs on your caddis, though. But that's just me. Is that some of your new Whiting hackle? What size hook is the conehead you caught the crappie on? He must've been a whopper. Your flies are always impressive.

smallieFanatic 0 Report post Posted August 11, 2009 Thanks mike, the middle fly is a #6, the crappie was around 8-9 inches, not a whopper, but a nice one. The caddis....what can I say, hes having a bad hair day. Actually I didn't even notice the unruly hairs until you mentioned it. Funny what a macro photo can do to a fly I didn't use any of my my new stuff on this one, I have a couple Whitings 100 packs, that's where the hackle is from.

BigDaddyHub 0 Report post Posted August 11, 2009 NO! NO! NO, JAN!! The correct answer should have been, "yeah, Mike, it's a bit tassled from all the trout that have sucked it in. It's been such a ggod fly I hate to mess with perfection." Jesh, son, it's called "embellishment"...that's not completely lying LOL Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
