Kansas Fly Fisher 0 Report post Posted July 26, 2009 Very interesting tie. Think I'll have to try these and see how they work. I'll post my results. Thanks Dano. John Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
3wt 1 Report post Posted July 27, 2009 Watch out in fly only areas. Likely considered natural bait... Which reminds me that I need to invent the trout chow beetle fly and prepare my argument that it meets the "any material" tied to a hook criteria...It's gonna revolutionize the sport.

Kansas Fly Fisher 0 Report post Posted July 28, 2009 Good point 3wt. I hadn't thought about that. Anyone out there know someone that could possibly give us a ruling on this? John Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gallagher 1 Report post Posted November 11, 2011 Good point 3wt. I hadn't thought about that. Anyone out there know someone that could possibly give us a ruling on this? John Good question, I'd like to know as well. I tied a few of these but haven't yet tried them as I always seem to not make it to Taney when the Japanese Beetles are in.

I think it would be tough to count it as natural bait if you prevent any extractable oils or flavors to come out of it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
moguy1973 1,428 Report post Posted November 11, 2011 In waters designated fly fishing only, a fly shall be constructed on a single point hook of feathers, tinsel, chenille, yarn, fur, silk, rayon or nylon thread or floss, with or without a spinner A coffee bean doesn't really fall into any of those categories...

Maybe if I can use japenese beetles to catch fish it will offset the fact that they try to destroy my pole beans every year. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
