Yeah, my brother wouldn't have believed it if I told him. I snatched a small mayfly out of the air that day, I could barely find it in my hand. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TroutFodder 0 Report post Posted October 28, 2021 flytire, your Froggy pattern is much more elaborate than the one I "tie". I call mine the Phelps Frog. Legs are just 3 strands of yellow & black rubber hackle knotted on the ends and trimmed to make the toes. I use this pattern for brown trout on some of the slower and more woody sections of streams and smaller rivers I fish up here. The advantage is that you can cast it close to, or over structure, without getting hung up. I also cast it upstream of under-cuts and overhanging bushes, let it drift underneath, and then twitch it out. The takes are violent and you need a heavy tippet to keep the fish from diving back under and breaking you off. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Bull Frawg does float great and dubs great, I would put it right there with Superfine and Fly Rite, the Skeeter fuzz floats well, but a lot harder to work with for me. He has more that I have and use, on scuds, nymphs and buggers Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
