ruthead Posted October 17, 2014 Posted October 17, 2014 Still nothing here. Kinda sucks as I think I only live about an hour's drive from Lancer09. "Pretty soon we may not have any rights left because it might infringe on someone's rights"
Lancer09 Posted October 17, 2014 Author Posted October 17, 2014 Ruthead, If they don't come in soon Let me know. If not, I don't think anyone would have a problem tying one up, if they aren't able to I'll shoot mine over. BBT: That was my fly. Back hook: Tail was marabou, Ice dub for the body, schlappen, crazy legs and had Craft Fur Reversed tied up front. There as also some lead wrapped on the bend of the hook. Front hook was a 35 mm shank, ice dub, schlappen, two grizzly saddles, A collar of Dark brown deer hair, and UV Black Laser Dub clumps on top and the bottom. Size 6 fish mask with 7 mm eyes. I just like the way the bigger eye fits on the rim, and will stay in place with enough head cement. I actually have been fishing this fly for a while and wanted something that looked like a minnow or baitfish really struggling. So often I would see them swim fine then just go head up and drift for a while. The lead on the back and the deer hair up front make the bottom fall and head rise when it's at rest. When stripped the head has some great motion and darts all over, with the back of the fly sort of pushing it where it can. I needed it to also be level during the strip. It got absolutely smoked by smallies over labor day weekend, and have ZERO doubt that in the right place browns would like it too.
Big Brown Trout Posted October 17, 2014 Posted October 17, 2014 Thanks Lancer I really appreciate all the info! Man I noticed ALOT of yellow in this swap, coincidence or do you guys know something I don't? Let the summer of Carp, begin.
ruthead Posted October 18, 2014 Posted October 18, 2014 Got mine today. Looks GOOD! Read somewhere that Yellow got more turns on Browns than any other colors. "Pretty soon we may not have any rights left because it might infringe on someone's rights"
fishinwrench Posted October 18, 2014 Posted October 18, 2014 Elaborate can ya ? Are we talking banana yella, harvest yeller, or fluorescent yellow ? I have always found buckskin tan to be a good draw for stocker browns also.
Lancer09 Posted October 19, 2014 Author Posted October 19, 2014 A nice blend of banana, canary, and daisy, with a splash of chartreuse.... that yellow.
Big Brown Trout Posted November 4, 2014 Posted November 4, 2014 Anyone fish any yet? We just closed on a house on Halloween so we have and will be tied up until spring. (unfortunately ) Let the summer of Carp, begin.
ruthead Posted November 4, 2014 Posted November 4, 2014 Not yet here. We started a new tradition a couple years ago. "Black Friday" is spent fly fishing somewhere. Plan on tryin some of them then. Sure am glad I won't be spending it shopping!! "Pretty soon we may not have any rights left because it might infringe on someone's rights"
Big Brown Trout Posted November 4, 2014 Posted November 4, 2014 yeah I do that to on Black Friday, between my wife and I we call it Brown Friday. If we are lucky I may get that day in, other than that though things look bleak. Let the summer of Carp, begin.
