Brian Wise Posted July 16, 2012 Posted July 16, 2012 Hey guys, The next fly in the Mike Schmidt Series is the Voodoo Squatch. I haven't fished this fly a TON yet, but as I have I have noticed one thing....MOVEMENT. This fly moves a lot differently than a lot of flies that you will see. It has a LARGE head followed by reverse tied Bucktail on the front hook.....and the back hook is nothing but Marabou and flash. The large head and Bucktail provide this "draft" that makes the back hook go crazy. Very cool fly and as fun to tie as it is to fish. Mike Schmidt's Voodoo Squatch Recipe: Back Hook Hook: Daiichi 2141 #1 (I was out of this hook so I replaced it with a #2 Gamakatsu B10s) Tail: Palmered Marabou Flash: Flashabou Wing: Marabou Bottom Wing: Marabou Connection Point: Beadalon Front Hook Hook: Gamakatsu B10s #1 Tail: Marabou (top and bottom) Flash: Flashabou Wing: Bucktail (Reverse Tied) Head: Lazer Dub Eyes: Clear Cure Eyes My Youtube Channel

mic Posted July 16, 2012 Posted July 16, 2012 Great video. I bet that one would also be good for farm pond bass.
Lancer09 Posted July 16, 2012 Posted July 16, 2012 That thing is SWEET. I like that it looks like it may actually be castable on a 6 wt. I need to go get some laser dub colors and try some out. I think a black and green would just be dirty at night.
Justin Spencer Posted July 16, 2012 Posted July 16, 2012 One of my favorite things about these videos is that is shows no matter what materials you currently have, you will be able to figure out a way to make a cool streamer with things you find lying around your tying table (even if it doesn't have as cool a name as the voodoo squatch).

Justin Spencer Posted July 18, 2012 Posted July 18, 2012 Can you get tricinoscis from that toothbrush if you brush rabbit dubbing with it?
