May Flies From The Vise

Recommended Posts

Nice fshng2

Id like to tie some of those, gonna have to look it up

 

Thanks Mike, attached is the SBS I loosely followed using material I had on hand.

Didn't like the look of the finished fly with respect to the hook gap, even though I have some of those hooks.

I felt a wider gap like the mosquito would provide a better hook-set although I would need to add a shank.

With that said I fished the fly for half a day and the bass approved.

A total of 5 were caught 3 self released and I must of missed at least 20 more.

I didn't do a float test before completion of the fly, just assumed it would set lower in the water.

Turns out the whole fly floated like a cork..... not good.

Rev 2 Improvements:

Fly to set about a 45-degree angle in the resting position.

Longer tail = bigger target for fish.

Hopefully I will see the score improve.

Fancy color combinations get people's attention, but my confidence color for bass topwaters has always been and will always be straight black.

Discovered the "wonder wing" while watching a youtube video and had to try it. The darker one is grouse, the lighter on is wood duck. I like 'em and will have to tie a bunch to keep on hand. Thanks for looking.

A basic general attractor; with that dubbing, the rib is kinda superfluous.
