Mike West 0 Report post Posted October 30, 2016 I like it! The Woolly Worm was 1st fly I learned to tie and yours are the same except the tail, I always used red or orange saddle hackle barbels. The Peacock was my 1st and it's still a confidence fly for me...I prefer the woolly worm over the woolly bugger. I was just thinking about tying some the other day cause I only have a couple left.

mikechell 0 Report post Posted October 31, 2016 Final two days of the month. I was busy last week. But I did get the flies tied that I wanted for this trip to Houston. I only got pictures of the poppers, so far ... the other three patterns tomorrow, if I can get good pictures. Flip flop foam bodies, ready for the hook. A little FTD Congo Hair for bulk in the water, and Dollar Tree feather boa fluff. Add body and ... the Fluffy Popper! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mikechell 0 Report post Posted November 1, 2016 Final two days of the month. I was busy last week. But I did get the flies tied that I wanted for this trip to Houston. So where are you fishing at?Do you have family,friends,private water or are you just winging it on public water? Public water. But I am fishing small creeks (gulleys ... bayou ... whatever they call them here) that don't get a lot of pressure because no one thinks there's fish in them. I'll have a video from tonight's trip up a little later. Here's the other three patterns I tied up. My go to "Panfish Attractor". This is the one I tied to be weedless (hook up) before I ever even thought about looking for patterns on the net. Then I found out, once i got into this site, that there were already patterns out there like it. My Pearl Minnow. Probably, also like someone else's pattern ... but I just threw these together in a hotel room last year, and I really like them. And the Wooley Bugger. I only started tying these recently ... haven't fished them much, yet. I tied a few of these with squirrel tail tails. Of course, this weekend, I hope to be fishing Toledo Bend, while at the IFFF get together. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
