What's your favorite topwater fly for river smallies?
rich mc replied to Rob G's topic in BassBuggers
for years it was the sneaky pete. then came the gurgler. i have found the stealth bomber to be too foamy as the fly will move when a fish rushes it= more misses. i have seen the jude bug just catch fish after fish. funny but for shabbona ,sliders and divers work best in the am and poppers in the pm. same goes for spinnerbaits in the am and buzzers at pm. been that way for years -

before you even take him or her rig up a bobber ,practice plug or lure with no hooks and practice casting to a bucket start short then longer . you can get then to practice by themselves . once they have confidence in casting the rest is easier

next thursday 4 -19 is our fly tying session at dupage fly 6pm. i will be instructing on tying the action worm using eyelash yarn . the small version is a great imitation of a ned rig . mid size is a worm or minnow pattern depending on how it is trimmed. a large version is just like the dragontail used on musky flies . for the fans of the ned rig come on out and bring some mushroom heads . i will have a clear container with water so you can see the action when wet .

i cant judge the two of you because i havnt seen jude dance yet. very close as terry can dance and jude has a bug named after him. if there was a fishing challenge i would favor terry in cold water [tube jigs] and jude in warm water [jude bug , chug bug ]

ron did sing the praises of that fly. you reminded me that i wanted to tie some in black n blue.
