Yes his patterns are great...have yet to use the Striper Dragons i tied this winter....very excited to use them in the back bays and the surf
-
the reason i ask...is that the diameter on the head , where the loop is less than the diameter 4 or 5 ' above the loop.

Bait Trailer...i've recently tied the kinky muddler, and others of that style, but have yet to fish them for striped bass in the N.E., i'm interested in learning how to fish them...in terms of type of water and presentation have you had success with .

The white one on top is my attempt at a a Striper Dragon...the other 2 are the variants it inspired. -

Sauve...thats looks great ...what type of water and retrieve do you like for that pattern in saltwater ? I've never fished that type of profile . As a side note... i came across this thread by accident and saw your reference to the Bart-o Minnow, of which i never knew of. However , i tied something earily similar out of coincidence , after tying Johnny Kings Kinky Muddler as well as a Striper Dragon from Joe Calcavechio. I guess that style of tying sparked something.

Thank you so much "Fisherman" for your reply, and through your site, it lead me down a road to Mark Gustavon's Fly Fishing Moriches Bay for Striped Bass which is wonderful as well. Some much to read and learn for every level of fisherman. As a successful surfcaster for over 40yrs in the NY area ( surf, back bays, and inlets )i've only been fly fishing for 3 years .....so i am an admitted novice when it comes to tying and presenting patterns to what i have known to be productive water. I've had very limited success in finding out what patterns work for me, and what time of day & tide is more more productive for presenting flies from the same beaches and inlets i've always caught fish in , i've had some success from my Hobie kayak . Looking forward to a more successful season and cracking the code.

Thank you ..looks like so many different patterns are effective with a huge swing in profile...this particular pattern seems like it would be very easy cast.
