New and Improved Crease Flys

[Jonn Graham]

Been burning the midnight oil of late working on my skill at building crease flys. I feel I have made a few strides. I was able to take one out on Saturday and give it a test run. It worked beautifully!!! It sat perfectly in the water and popped and dove slightly under the water when stripped. Yipee!! Here is a picture of a few of my new models:

 

 

 

 

As you can see, I am making them in different sizes and color shemes. That foam with the glitter already on it, is a godsend.

HOLY whale smolts Batman!! That middle pic looks like a 7/0!! Here I thought you were making them at 1/0 & 2/0 sizes.

When Jonn refers to "his arsenal", he's not kidding!

Greg:

 

It must be the picture. None of the hooks are over 2/0 in size. Some have a longer shank than others, but they are definitely nothing close to a 7/0 hook. Just a nice size hook with a good gap for hooking and holding our fiesty, central Illinois bronzies.

I think the hand in the photo isn't Jonn's. It had me thinking 'Huge Fly!' at first.

don,jonn needs to make one that looks like your favorite color skitterpop. then you will be making flies as well.the addiction is spreading rich

Don is right. That hand is my son's hand. These crease flys are not that big. Around 2-3 inches long from head to tail. Definitely not too big for smallies. Back in my spin/casting days, I would routinely throw topwaters four inches or better and have good success doing it.
