Winter Walleye Fly Fishing Flies

[dtrs5kprs]

There are some other old school TN area companies that make one too. I'll see if I can find my old links.

Dynamite on brown fish in cold water at times.

Any little hair jig or small plastic can work though.

A lot of Walleyes have been caught on Clouser Minnows because they are a lot like jigs, and lots of Walleyes are caught on jigs. The picture I enclosed shows some flies I catch a lot of Bass on in Stockton, and I plan on trying these for walleyes as well when conditions are right with a sinking or sink tip line in the next couple months. The hook size is 2/0 and they are weighted so the fly fishes hook point facing up. I have caught Hybrids below Truman Dam from a boat on these as well. They are called Puglisi Flies and they catch pretty much everything. You might give them a try. Please post if you catch some Walleyes on flies. Good luck!

I've tied striper jigs with Puglisi fibers in shad colors and tore up the stripers on Lake Ouachita. Kind of translucent two tone grey and white. Perfect for a clear lake like Ouachita ....1/2 oz jigs, 5/0 hook.

Puglisi's baitfish patterns work very well. Have caught allot of fish (fresh & saltwater) on those. Might need a couple sink tips and shooting heads. Sinkers aren't much fun to cast. Best from a boat with someone else to boat monkey.

Flatfish!! 

 

They don't work ever. Especially the pearl ones! All junk.

You nailed it...clear water. This fly kills in clear water. Perfect profile and translucency for wary fish. It doesn't have a noisy blade or enticing wobble, but in clear water it does the job. Don't get me wrong, I like the other flies mentioned here too. In fact, last night I tied several of the wiggle minnows. I'm researching too, because for the fly to work right it has to be tied right. I'm going to test it tomorrow just to see how the ones I've tied so far act in the water before I make a bunch that don't do the wobble. As a kid In Northern California I fished Flatfish and Lazy Ike's for Bass and Trout. Deadly! This has been an inspiring thread.

I hear you, sinking lines can be a chore. Thank goodness I have good gear, it helps. I try to keep false casting to a minimum with a full sinking line and never try to lift too much line off the water at once for the next cast. Otherwise, it'll ware you out in a hurry. Another plus for Puglisi flies is that they cast with ease.
