Ducking imitations

[hopperfisher 0]

Has anyone ever heard of or seen any duckling imitations for big pike, musky or largemouth? I'm sure you Northern Midwest guys could chime in on this one.

Typo in the title, I meant "duckling imitations"

There have been wooden & plastic lures produced that looked liked ducklings, but I don't recall seeing a fly like that. Possible someone may have tied one. Pat Cohen would be the most likely to have done one IMO. His deerhair work is masterful.

I just found that Pat Cohen does indeed tie a duckling pattern. It's called the Merganser Duckling and it imitates a duckling in distress.

Very cool! Just checked it out. Not surprised, as his flies are incredible!

 

So, there you go, get to tying!

I grew up in northern Wisconsin, and I have seen ducklings following their mothers get taken many times. A friend of mine had a rubber ducky with moving legs and a huge treble hook he used to throw with his spin casting rod. I don't know if he ever caught anything on it, but it was pretty funny.

If you look up the Somerset show from 2012 on Hatches, you'll see a great duck pattern by mike Williams... Probably the best I've seen
