coinman66 0 Report post Posted February 2, 2014 Needed a River Shiner pattern for my creek smallies. Wanted a fuller profile that pushes water. I keep reading about big flies for bigger smallies so hope this does the trick. I can always thin it out if needed. What's everyone think? I'm gonna chuck it on my 6wt and it should shed water really nice. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

eastern fly 0 Report post Posted February 2, 2014 Will it slim down when wet? Are your bait fish of the type robust like that or the sleek minnow style? Kevin Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
coinman66 0 Report post Posted February 2, 2014 Some of the shiners are 4" to 10" long. And yes it will slim down in water. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
