Some variations of bait fish I've been tying using...
-Craft fur
-Shimmer Minnow flash
-Grizzly hackle feathers (some patterns)
-Polar Chenille

Good looking flies!I like the Chicago one quite a bit. That light blue over white was a great color combo for me last year with the smallies. Need a chartreuse version too!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Nick! I have a Firetiger pattern, but I wasn't completely happy with the first 2 that I tied. The DPR Pike will most definitely love them come fall when they're looking for slower looking baits.
DeleteLook a bit on the big size for the Panfish I fish for out in Colorado. Impressive, none the less! Maybe Bass or Pike might be interested.
ReplyDeleteThe panfish will definitely steer clear of these 2/0 baitfish. Bass and hopefully some Pike will have these in their sites here in the Chicagoland area.

ReplyDeleteFantastic work at the tying bench, both these patterns are worthy of either fishing,or even putting under glass. Super nice work, thanks for sharing
Thanks, Bill!!! I am partial to the looks of the Chicago color pattern on these. It looks like a display fly for me. :) I just hope the bass love them as much as I do!
