September Flies From the Vise

Recommended Posts

That EP fly, the first one shown, is very well done... Most do them with too much material and then are disappointed at the response from the fish... I was in small snook today for about an hour and a half, catching and releasing everyone (quit counting after  dozen of the hungry little guys..). That fly would have been just the ticket...

McFly have you ever done any of the EP type flies using FTD fibers?

This is using FTD Congo hair...

That's one nice fly there Agler.

 Do you V stack tie the head?

I do for the ones that I want a fatter body, not flat.  So flies like the Everglades special and ep minnows and such.  That’s a nice one you got there also man!  Nice little baitfish fly.  Love it!

McFly thanks for the info.

The Congo hair streamer looks very nice. 

I like it's sparseness and will have to try one to see how it swims.

Cool yeah, Congo hair is almost identical to ep fiber.  I mean slightly different but hard to tell the difference.  It should swim like any fly tied with ep.

Fish any one of those minnow patterns in my area - and you'll wonder why you spent so much time tying it... The fish are that hungry when you find them in a group... and small snook in particular are hard on flies...
