Philly Posted October 26, 2006 Report Share Posted October 26, 2006 Haven't caught too many but the ones I've caught have fallen to a fly I've dubbed the estaz bug. Real easy pattern to tie. Here's a picture and tying instructions. www.danica.com/flytier/jcaruso/estaz_bug.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starship Posted October 26, 2006 Report Share Posted October 26, 2006 Small and red with a bead, vertically worked, sinker on the bottom. Fly should be worked just above the bottom barely moving the sinker. Hunting season is the best time to fish! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richs Posted October 26, 2006 Report Share Posted October 26, 2006 They eat a lot of midge larva in the lake I fish for them. woolly bugger with a midge dropper trolled slow around 20 ft. down over muddy flats. You'll catch all kinds of critters doing this. No more skunks. Maybe you didn't hear about it, you been gone a long time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JEFFSOD Posted October 27, 2006 Report Share Posted October 27, 2006 I stopped for 20 minuetes on the way home from work the other night and a nice one took a grey ghost. They do seem to like woolly buggers though. Last night I caught a nice pickeral that took a small muddler with a black maribu tail. I have been using a fly called the goldie a lot this season and they really like those. There is a picture of it on the Bills Bodi Braid website. The smallies loved this fly too. Essentially it is just a piece of gold bodi braid tied on a hook with a bead head and once the material is tied in you pick the tube apart so the mylar flows or breaths when you strip the fly.
