Getting the Float-n-Flies ready

[Rondojigs]

Here is a few of my flies. I have 300-400 to tie so I thought that I better get a start on them. What do you think?

[Richard F.]

Those look great! I always wanted to try that here on our KS. lakes. Is there much to it?

Spinning tackle w/ 4-6 lb test line, a few small bobbers and alot of patience You would be surprised at the size of Bass that are caught on this little 1/16 oz fly.Its winter finesse fishing and has a almost "cult like" following around here.Its kinda cool to go in a baitshop in the winter and see a bunch of old local guys standing around argueing about which color is the best. Alot of winter/early spring tournaments are won around here on them.

[CShaver8]

what are the best floats to use? and do you use a three-way swivel to attatch the float?

[Richard F.]

Thanks for the info.I will have to give it a try. Any tutorials on here on how to fish them?

What kind of feather are you using in the second one from the bottom? I've tied bucktails and bunny jigs, but would like to expand.

[Richard F.]

Those look good too.

I can vouch for FnF, I caught 2 over 5lbs. in a tourney on it and won the tx. Never catch any small fish really, most are over 15inches.

Short video on the home page of fishin.com
In TN most use a fnf spinning rod of 9' or longer, 8lb power pro, 3-way swivel, 6lb floro leader that is 8-14' long and a 1/16 oz jig. You can get fnf bobbers where the weight is in the middle instead of the bottom - the weight in the middle allows the bobber to fall over if they come from below and just pick it up. It's fun.

Figured I would show you guys some of mine as well, tell me what you think!

[wkerber]

I like those really well. I generally use the duck feather with a hint of flashbou or red or blue. Probably just my personal prefence as that's what I first started using for fnf - the ole confidence thing.

[softworm]

great looking flies mjwalker, the duck feather is great fly

[mjwalker]

thanks softworm, I tie them myself much cheaper than 2 bucks apiece!
