Jonn Graham Posted January 11, 2013 Report Share Posted January 11, 2013 Here is what I have been tying lately.............................I really need to go fishing soon! Have not wet a line in 3 weeks. Another week without fishing and I am going to have to see a doctor. Pat Cohen's Polar Minnow. If you have not checked out Pat's sight, you are truly missing out. He is incredible. Articulated Muskie fly imitating the colors of a Gizzard Shad Above pic is a threadfin shad. Man, I need to catch a fish!!!

Rob G Posted January 11, 2013 Report Share Posted January 11, 2013 John, you are the Muskie Man! I bet that articulated design in a 4" version would clean up on the smallmouth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim A Posted January 12, 2013 Report Share Posted January 12, 2013 John, I meant to ask: is the bucktail collar/wing on the articulated pattern tied in reverse or normal/traditional? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonn Graham Posted January 12, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2013 Rich: It is polar flash giving off the blue color. The use of polar flash vs. other types of flash materials is why Pat Cohen calls the fly the polar minnow. Tim A: Bucktail is reverse - tied. Rob G. You know, you are probably right. Will have to work on scaled down version for smallies. For some reason, I enjoy tying muskie flies most of all. The articulated ones take around 30-40 minutes per fly, but they sure are fun. In addition, they look great in the water. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
