Jack Jones Posted June 27, 2012 Posted June 27, 2012 What kind of fly does one use to target Gar? "Thanks to Mother Mercy, Thanks to Brother Wine, Another night is over and we're walking down the line" - David Mallett
Wayne SW/MO Posted June 27, 2012 Posted June 27, 2012 Do this Jack, use the 1/4" or 3/16" white rope. I would use a heavy leader and probably just loop to the hole on a fly rod. We use to catch them of bait casters or spinning rods with white poly rope combed out and a piece of red yarn tied to the front. We melted the end of the rope and then flattened it, punched a hole through it and hooked a snap to it. Today's release is tomorrows gift to another fisherman.
jdmidwest Posted June 28, 2012 Author Posted June 28, 2012 I use a size 4 or 6 straight eye streamer hook with gold bead chain eyes, red thread, and a white zonker strip tied on top. The rabbit tends to snag the teeth and hook better. It is neutral bouyant which helps sight fishing on top. You can add some krystal flash, it helps to snag the teeth too.
