Very cool looking fly. I would love to try those out in the mangroves for snook. I may have to tie some of those up tonight for fun. Thanks for sharing Zach.
Sweet pattern. I imagine they push a lot of water and have a great gurgling effect.
I could see them working well anywhere big hungry fish live.
Doesn’t really look that impressive to me? But I spend most of my time beneath the surface where the majority of our fish are. The surface blitz is a rare sight in these parts. They usually only happen early and late and at certain times of the year. Most of those times the fish are eating Young Of the Year Shad that are small. A large offering is a waste of time. Plus I like to fish all day. ;D
I’m not knocking the pattern at all but I really doubt it’ll replace the crease fly or a good foam popper.
Yea I do it when the cool weather has run off the drunken boaters. Here’s a snap shot of what my Graph looks like when I find a school. Note they are all feeding on bait balls well below the surface. If I waited to fish to surface feeding fish I’d go a long time (months) without even casting.
EDIT: I do fish one small lake (80 acres) that is stocked with Hybrids and those fish do come up around dark to feed regularly. Some places fish just behave differently then others.
