fly box for Taney

[Bill McC]

Hoping somebody could help me develop a fly box for fishing lake Taneycomo. I have been fishing Roaring River for years now. I get the chance to wade Taney a few times a year. This year looks like I will get to fish Taney quite a bit as my daughters are not playing summer siftball. Really wanting to get into softhackles. I have searched the net but the patterns seem hard to find. Any help appreciated. This will also be a new experience for me this year as my wife and fishing buddy she will be starting to wade.

Thanks

I live in Texas and only get to Taney once or twice a year and have come to rely on sz.18 & 20 BH Zebra midges,Worm colored micro chenelle San Juans on sz.10 hooks and sz. 20 midges with red thread bodies,wire ribbed and peacock head.I do pretty well on those.

#1, size 18 Light Olive softhackle

#2, size 16/18 uv gray scud with red head

#3, size 16 Light Olive crackleback

#4, size 10/12 Olive wooley booger

#5, size 18/20 bead head Zebra Midge

#6, size 12, San Juan worm, red/orange/worm color

You can't forget about the famous g-bug from chartered waters.

This fly will smoke fish all day long. Also when you can't get a

bite on anything else, this is a definite go to fly.

any idea how to tie it?

[diamond dave]

not sure, but you can go to chartered waters.com and maybe they can

tell you. That's where I buy mine from.

If JoRob is listening...he ties them up...JOROB, Oh JOROB????

g-bug is simple. tie in a bit of marabou for the tail, wrap ostrich herl for the body. I match the two colors and do the best with ginger and olive, almost always size 18.
