Jack Jones Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 Was perusing the internet this evening and ran across this article: http://www.buckeyeflyfishers.com/Articles/alternative/all_fish_all_waters.htm Got me thinking about whether anyone here might have tried a small senko, grub, or plastic worm on the fly? What about an inline spinner like a Mepps? I'm probably going to kill some time looking for commercial sellers for longer, worm type flies, and other alternative flies. Just for fun.

Flysmallie Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 I'm probably going to kill some time looking for commercial sellers for longer, worm type flies, and other alternative flies. Just for fun. Worm type flies work well. I have done well in the past fishing them carolina style on a fly rod using split shot for the weight. Not the easiest thing to lob out there, but they do catch fish. You can see a copuple different ones in the upper right hand corner of this picture. These are tied with yarn and chenille. Pretty simple. You can also use a strip of rabbit and get something that will fish like a floating worm or senko. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gavin Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 Try a small plastic tube jig. With or without a float. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ozark trout fisher Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 I've been known to occasionally toss woolly buggers with a spinner attached on my fly rod, especially when I'm fishing a stream where the water is up and a little off color. That can work great on our wild trout streams if the conditions are right. . Some purists wouldn't call that fly fishing but I couldn't care less.

Jack Jones Posted September 12, 2011 Author Share Posted September 12, 2011 Smallie--- that's some good stuff. You are certainly making the case for tying your own flies. It's something I plan to get to. Just don't know when. That second picture with the rabbit strip, what size weedless hook is that? Dano --- thanks for that link.
