Mark Knapp 0 Report post Posted April 7, 2020 Tarpon flies from the Orvis Index. Cockroach Hi-Ti (I added the black top of the wing). Chinese Claw Apte Tarpon Fly All of these are tied on 5/0 hooks. We don't have Tarpon up here in Alaska but all of these flies would work very well for Rockfish, ling Cod and Halibut in the salt and Pike in fresh water just as they are. I can't think of very many things that are more fun than catching large pike on top water so I converted the last two flies into poppers for pike. I have a bunch of these foam popper heads around, it was a simple matter of gluing them on. The poppers are about 7 inches long altogether.

Our US fish must not understand Czech because I've yet to catch a fish on one. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
