cdnfishguy11 Posted March 7, 2013 Report Share Posted March 7, 2013 Soo for the past 3 weeks or so Ive been tying flies for the warm water... not that Ive written off Steelhead season but the days are getting longer and I cant wait for bass season...These are kinda froggy looking and kinda mouse looking with a mix of colours, not sure what the fish are gonna think but there fun to tie and I think they`ll be hot...The gurgler style head should bring it off the surface and a good 1-2" into the water creating a nice disturbance on the surface Shifting from naturals to a foam head these are more of baitfish immitation but with frog style legs again... something about the way the saddle hackle sits, I really love it ... hopefully they do too... and of course the old classics for the smaller bass in the local rivers Now lets see some of your old favourites or new ones youve been working on over the winter! also thanks again to Cornelius for the box... its nice and big for the large flies!

ron4blues Posted March 8, 2013 Report Share Posted March 8, 2013 Love them! I find that the Dahlburgh Diver and the Bomber also make great top-water bass flies. I don't have any tied at the moment, but here are some Google images. The bomber is a fly meant for Atlantic Salmon, but you can provoke very nice top-water strikes from bass, trout and even pike with it. You can tie it with a strip of foam wrapped around the shank rather than deer hair too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Icehut Posted March 23, 2013 Report Share Posted March 23, 2013 Egads, those stacked and clipped deer hair jobbies are way too much work. Hate 'em! I quit flaring deer hair years ago, when I found myself buying two grand worth of scuba gear to get one back from a snag. Any bass bug that takes longer than ten minutes to tie will eventually bring a tear to your eye when it goes bye-bye. Styro pre-cut heads FTW!

cdnfishguy11 Posted March 23, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2013 Egads, those stacked and clipped deer hair jobbies are way too much work. Hate 'em!

Styro pre-cut heads FTW! while its faster to tie the foam heads theres something about the deer hair I love, the surface disturbance is 2nd to none in my opinion... but if I were tying flies just to catch fish I wouldnt care enough to do it, but the bottom line is I enjoy tying more complicated flies, these ones are fun to tie and dont take a huge amount of time! Also the op was updated.... thinking somebuddy hacked my photobucket.... all my luinks appear broken ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
