What's in your vise?

[Buzzy]

Not many fish that wouldn’t eat that fly. Keep it around for Fall trout fishing.!

Thanks, Dan! I fish very similar jigs for trout - often. Had a couple great outings at the Warm Water Ditch one November fishing a similar jig with an orange bead.

Bluegill Bully... This is been, by far my most successful bluegill fly. It has lead in its butt, so it sinks, butt first as the elastic arms flutter, seemingly irresistible to the bluegills…strip and pause presentation..

Club Sandwich Parachute Drake

First try; body/tail junction a bit clunky. Further experimentation to follow but these are a hell of a lot easier for me to tie than Paradrakes, and the heads won’t blow out after a fish or two.

hook - WFC Model 10 #8
thread/rib - GloBrite #11
core - 20lb mono
tail - moose body hair
body - 1mm foam olive/2mm foam chartreuse
wing - Congo Hair white
hackle - grizzly dyed chartreuse
legs - medium rubber black

Regards,
Scott

Are the two pieces of foam cemented together or not? Very cool! (That's standard for your amazing ties and dyes!)/Pat Burdick

Some river coho stuff, haven't tied or fished in quite some time, here's looking to September and October.

Thanks, Pat. The 1mm outer foam is folded over the 2mm and cut to shape (an elongated “V”). I’ll see if I ever made an SBS on the tying sequence; it a modification of a lot of the Carnage flies I tie, using a mono core to construct the body. If I can’t find one, I’ll put one together this week.
