tmds3 0 Report post Posted February 7, 2013 Well here is a pattern I learned today from the fly guy while picking up some supplies. Told him I was new at tying and he showed me the pattern. It is a Cypert Minnow pattern and he said would be great for sandbass. So what does everyone think ? Thoughts or critique? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Keep at it on the whip finisher and after a few dozen flies it will become second nature, guaranteed!! Just stick with it!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah they are little bead chain eyes, it is the cypert minnow pattern. Guy at Backwoods outdoor shop in Ft Worth showed my how to do it, found it on here as well when I went to tie mine up so that I didnt forget any steps. I just noticed in the pic it is upside down. You actually tie it hook up. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
