Piker20 0 Report post Posted February 15, 2013 It is, as you say a variant on a copper john. The second one is a twist on a prince/john. They should both work well on trout. The stubby rubber legs may benefit from being a little longer to give movement or just sub them for a natural feather. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
switch10 0 Report post Posted February 15, 2013 A few Ice Cream Cone midges. Tied on TMC 2499SPBL's, sizes #10-8. By far the largest midges I have ever fished with, or tied. I'm headed over to Pyramid Lake, NV to try my luck at one of those mutant cutthroats.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jailbait1984 0 Report post Posted February 16, 2013 I don't what this would be good for but we named it crazy peacock any ideas?? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jailbait1984 0 Report post Posted February 16, 2013 so here is one of my salty flies that I use for bonita and spanish. Let me know what you think Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jailbait1984 0 Report post Posted February 16, 2013 and last but not least I have tied a squid fly for the early spanish and king run. Hopefully something takes a bite. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mikechell 0 Report post Posted February 16, 2013 Jailbait, those are some good looking squid ... and I like the shrimp too. I don't know what to call that peacock thing either, but I'll bet it'll catch a bass. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mikechell 0 Report post Posted February 16, 2013 Pretty flies, Piker. Which one of those would you recommend for super cold water ... hopefully holding some small trout? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jailbait1984 0 Report post Posted February 16, 2013 I didn't think about that. We have some pretty aggressive large mouth in the month of April. Guess I will have to give it a go. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FishDragon 0 Report post Posted February 16, 2013 Nice midges Piker20. mickechell I would recommend any with red in them for spring fishing. Some midge pupa store up hemoglobin giving them the red color. I find brassies and zebra midges work very well throughout the year as well. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
