Suave Posted May 19, 2019 Report Share Posted May 19, 2019 Variants on Gartside's Beastmaster General. All have ostrich herl in the tail as shown on the Saltwater Flies website and that's the only difference for the first two. In the third I attempted to have the chartreuse on top and the yellow on the bottom except for the collar and head. And in the last two, I went further by adding ostrich herl on top of the marabou body and making a two-tone collar and head. These are 5.5"-6" long, longer than the ones (3"-4") I have fished so far with success, fishing them sub-surface with an intermediate line. I've tied a few of these smaller ones for a friend who has fished them topwater as a slider also with success (and he gets spectacular takes). So I will be fishing these bigger ones mostly topwater, even greasing the head as Gartside suggests when fishing them that way. They should stir something!

HillTop Posted May 21, 2019 Report Share Posted May 21, 2019 A little shrimp cocktail... possibly too bright but experimenting.......... HT KidDkivahh, tidewaterfly, Stonefish and 1 other 4 Currently have aphasia. Aphasia is a result of my head stroke causing a bleed. Happened in my Maine vacation in July (2021). Lucky me less than 1% of people get stroke aphasia. I'm making project but have been told this is easily 5 months to 1 year for this to improve. Until then hope you don't mind making sense with what I text. HT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had some organza ribbon hanging around the house and saw this YouTube tutorial....and... and. couldn't help myself. Bet they'd work well for shad more than Stripers. I'll give'm a go some night and if no luck save them for a river in South County RI that's a great place for shad and see what happens. You coming to the Cape again this year ? If so hope to catch up at the usual haunts. HT Currently have aphasia. Aphasia is a result of my head stroke causing a bleed. Happened in my Maine vacation in July (2021).

Coated with Liquid Fusion. Need the right conditions to fish it, no rip currents lately or bass! Excellent! I've tied a half dozen like that following a pattern in BP's book, but yours is the best Ive seen so far! Did you coat the wood duck feather with the liquid fusion? Coincidentally yesterday fished with a few of my attempts in a small rip I found, but with no success, I switched back to a half and half and hooked up.

Do the SF blend gets ''wooly'' like EP fibers after a few fish ? Thanx ^..^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
