My flies will be in the mail in the morning. I tied biot nymphs. I'd wager I caught as many trout on these last year as I did all other flies combined. Granted they were usually on the end of a Frenchy leader but they'll work fine nymphed normal.

 

Hook: Mustad R50X #14

Thread: Benecchi 12/0 olive

Bead: Tungsten, black

Tail: Coq de Leon, medium pardo

Butt/Hotspot: Flor. Fire Orange Ultra-thread

Abdomen: Turkey Biot, olive

Thorax: Squirrel SLF, dark olive in split thread

Yeah we got some gar thats for sure. And ya know I have never though about flying for those. Bet that would be a heck of a ride. Have to be a good size rod though I imagine with some steel leader.

today brought 2 more sets just 2 sets left to go first set is a small baitfish pattern by mybadhabit I am sure the crappie in my lake are going to decrease just from this fly alone and the second set is going to be single handedly responsible for putting a huge dent into the trout population everywhere I can see why you said that about this fly crackleback its got fish magnet wrapped with every turn of thread
