    Flies

    Hey guys. I know this is not a fly fishing site, but I have tied some flies I plan to use for bass. Just thought I'd post them and see what you think.

    Wow, those are really sweet. Are you doing the float-n-fly rig with them?

    I am going to strip them in/around/through weed beds. You definately got me thinking though. I bet I could tie these up on a jig head and try using it for a float n fly......hmmmmmm.......might have to try that.

    They look really good.


    They would even better on a trebble hook attached to my jerk baits!

    Those are beautiful. I love catching bass (or anything) on a flyrod. What size hook are they on?

    These are on a size 2. I am starting to tie the same fly on a 1/0 to give it more size. I have also tied a few with some weight to get them down, as well as different colors. We will see how they react to the water. Things need to warm up, I gotta get these puppies out for a test drive.

    I am the same way. I catch any kind of fish then get to thinking....hmmmmm.....i wonder if I can do that on a fly rod.

    Nice looking flies! I do a lot of Fly Fishing myself, good to see someone else going after the bass with the Fairy Wand.

    Re: Flies (altimas)

    Yeah, hard to find anyone around here that goes after them with a fly rod. Sometimes I feel like I am on an island with my fly fishing for bass thoughts. I showed this to a couple of buddies and they looked at it for a long time and said.........ummmmmm, what exactely are you going to do with that? Fly fish for bass with it i said. the reply....so next time I go fishing with you I am going to have to put up with a fly rod? What is wrong with you?

    oh, well....such is the life of a fly fisherman.
