Guest Jim S. Posted May 12, 2013 Report Share Posted May 12, 2013 Really liked this fly, I only changed 2 things on it. The main thing was the eyes, the eyes on this one move and make a rattle sound, thought it couldn't hurt. Not the best pic, but it's late and I have a burrito to tend to.

Jim Wright Posted May 12, 2013 Report Share Posted May 12, 2013 Looks like a winner! Is it weighted? What size/style of hook did you use? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jim S. Posted May 12, 2013 Report Share Posted May 12, 2013 Looks like a winner! Is it weighted? What size/style of hook did you use? No, not weighted, but after throwing it today I could see adding some lead wire for a bit of weight and having 2 styles. It's tied on a Daiichi 2546 #2. The head is colored with a Prismacolor marker in Cool Gray. Looks very nice in the water. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Wright Posted May 13, 2013 Report Share Posted May 13, 2013 Did the fish liked how it looked in the water? Try a sinking leader...may give it a suspending action. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jim S. Posted May 13, 2013 Report Share Posted May 13, 2013 To be honest, have not even seen a carp yet in the water, very odd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Wright Posted May 13, 2013 Report Share Posted May 13, 2013 I got out couple weeks ago and saw lots of activity. Mainly gar. A pike. Some minnows in the shallows. Was fortunate to have a bronze eat my bug! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike G Posted May 14, 2013 Report Share Posted May 14, 2013 Great Tie. It reminds me that grizzly is an old family favorite and that I have some Hobby Lobby eyes and some silver Gilt Eyelash that will fill the materials bill when I sit down to tie some. I was wondering if those hollow plastic eyes might add some buoyancy. It looks like they did and adding some wire to the body might be the solution.

Eric Posted May 16, 2013 Report Share Posted May 16, 2013 Love the name. Sounds like it should be the name of professional bowler on the Simpsons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually he was a professional wrestler caught here by the paparazzi. The Midnight Mullet Didn't everyone have a mullet at some time.
