Looks Japanese style wise. How would this ride, I don’t know the words to describe, is it a floater, sinker or neutral. I only fish for panfish and pickerel and I see this as a hot item in certain environments of the lakes I fish. As artistic as well as utilitarian. Baron.

Thanks, Haven’t fished it yet; need to see it on the water to determine if/how much I need to trim out underneath to make it ride properly. With all the deer hair it should float for a while, although eventually it’ll probably soak up enough water that it sinks, at least somewhat. I would think 1 pickerel would turn it into a blown dandelion in short order, but that would sure be fun to watch. Regards, Scott Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Baron 0 Report post Posted May 6, 2021 Scott, you may be surprised. I hear it allot that toothy fish destroy flies but I've not seen it that way so far. Furthermore I soon lose all the flies I use and I'm fishing stumps and lily pads. Can you imagine being back in the deep water of a submerged stump field and weaving this through the Pads? Deadly I bet. Don Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Baron 0 Report post Posted May 6, 2021 Thanks. I have not tied them larger but I’m sure they’d tie up nicely. I want to use more classic streamers and soft hackle flies and this design is a good start. If I tied larger I’d probably stay with wire Aberdeen style hooks and keep them light. My rigs are only 4 and 5 weights and I fish allot of lily pads. I don’t want them to sink very fast. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Baron 0 Report post Posted May 6, 2021 Wow Flaytier. That is even simpler that the version I tied. And also it is much briefer. Thanks for the article. So when they say to use olive chenille for the body may I use olive dubbing Instead? Two reasons: 1) I don’t currently have chenille that color and 2) I’ve been practicing dubbing, learning how to be less clumpy and more consistent. I love this fly and am going out to try it now. Look up Lake Towhee. I’m the guy rowing around In the blue drift boat. thanks. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
