Philly 0 Report post Posted January 25, 2021 A couple of bass foam patterns, one I just learned yesterday First is Meade's Gutless Frog. Never heard of it until yesterday. So this is my first attempt at tying it. The body of the fly is 2 1/2" long hook - Ahrex Trout Predator Long- 2/0 thread - White 3/0(only used to secure the body to the hook behind the eye. Thread color to match foam color Body- 6 mm wide strip of 6 mm craft foam legs- Silicone spinner bait skirt layers eyes- your choice Next Tony's Froggie. I learned this pattern from the originator(Tony Spezio) about 20 years ago. I used it as a panfish bug usually tied on a on a size 6 or 8 2xl hook. Decided to supersize it to a bass bug The body of the fly is 2" long hook - Mustad 3777BR, size 30. It's a weird hook. Next batch I'll use either a 1/0 2xl streamer hook, probably a Daihichi 2461 thread - yellow 3/0 Thread color to match foam color Body- 6 mm wide strip of 6 mm craft foam Shank wrap- small sparkle or ice chenille, color to match foam tail- Yellow marabou. Tail matches foam color legs- Silicone spinner bait skirt layers eyes- your choice Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Current Angler 0 Report post Posted January 25, 2021 I came up with this craft fur leech as a way to make use of the underfur. It's super simple, and yet incredibly effective. the recipe can be found at https://thecurrentangler.com/2021/01/25/tying-the-craft-fur-leech/ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rocco 0 Report post Posted January 25, 2021 Sandan, That's a neat dry design. Floats on the dry hackle and gets surface movement from the longer, softer. Hungarian tips. Should be a real killer on 'soft' waters. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DarrellP 0 Report post Posted January 25, 2021 Nice flies! Those poppers are really nice, Upsate. It should drive Bass nuts. I like the leach, Current Angler. Going to try that pattern. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My eye's seem to get worse every day, but since I own a TRV I thought the jaw tip profile looked familiar. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

planettrout 0 Report post Posted January 25, 2021 I haven't tied any flies since October of 2018 due to a bunch of medical experiences and moving back down from Pullman, WA to Los Angeles. My youngest daughter Ally, who is in Veterinary Medicine School at WSU , in Pullman, bought me some tying goodies for Xmas and told me that it was time to get back on the horse... Xmas gift.. Some #18 (TMC 2488H) HOT VAC's with thread bodies, I tied up on Saturday. I will be setting up my photo area and shooting individual pics soon...
