Need Help New to fly fishing
Wish I had this information 25 years ago. I used to fish a place called
"The Orange Pit" (AKA bread pool). It was just behind a small restaurant named the Orange Pit and there was a picnic table next to the river. Patrons often came out and threw bread into the pool and the large trout would go mad for the bread, even though they often paid little attention to our flies. This was a flyfishing only section of stream, so actually using bread was prohibited - lucky for the fish. Gene "Charlie Choc" wrote in message ...

Does anyone in this group have a picture of one of these flies they could send me and any information on what is involved in tying one would be helpful. http://www.fishnet.com.au/flyswap/articles/mullet.html -- Charlie... |

: http://www.fishnet.com.au/flyswap/articles/mullet.html The link Charlie supplied covered most of the options Craig. One other you might like to try is a Fur Fly in white on a #14 fished damp, or wet dead drift (I'm not kidding). Steve |

@twister.rdc-kc.rr.com: "Ed Gildone (cox)" wrote in message newsceRc.52$_b.9@okepread02... Hmmmmmmm.... I thought someone was pulling his leg till I went to your link! A fly that imitates a piece of bread on a hook. Only from the "Land Down Under." Cottonwood seed flys, Weed Flys? Its not that unusual for flys to represent fish food other than insects or smallfish. Hell, a chunky hares ear nymph looks like a trout pellet. Steve |
