blacknoseddace Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 Just wanted to share a Puglisi fly, known to many, that I love fishing for Ozarks Bass. I tie a lot of these patterns to imitate Gizzard Shad. My favorite color variations are chartreuse over white and gray or olive over white. I use Gamagatsu Stinger hooks in size 1 to 2/0. I weight the body with lead wraps (about 10) and tie it upside down because of the weight. There are a lot of great flies out there for Bass, but I really like this one. I've been fishing Puglisi's for over 10 years. BilletHead and Eric82 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snagged in outlet 3 Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 Nice! Does the hook point ride up? I've tied them on offset hooks so the hook point rides up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blacknoseddace Posted June 14, 2016 Author Share Posted June 14, 2016 If I put enough weight. The one In the picture rides on it's side a bit, but the Bass are jumping on it, It looks crippled I guess. I like weight also because I'm fishing out from the bank up to 6 or 8 foot depth on my floating line. If the fly sinks quickly to 3 or 4 foot that's where I want it. Pretty much the same way I like to fish a spinnerbait on conventional gear, regarding depth on Stockton Lake. If I stop it and let it sink after several strips I get a lot of hits that way. Sorry, got off the subject a bit. Yeah, more weight turns the fly over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gavin Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 Great flies! Will catch anything that feeds on baitfish. blacknoseddace 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snagged in outlet 3 Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 Well they certainly work on river hybrids!!! blacknoseddace 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blacknoseddace Posted June 14, 2016 Author Share Posted June 14, 2016 I tied some for South Florida in February to look similar to golden shiners and they worked like a charm. We caught big bluegills on them too. You're right Gavin, anything that eats baitfish. Gavin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
