Folks: I had a fly rod as a teen, and fly fished a little with my Uncle,
but the last two season have been what I call my "first and second real
seasons" And, I concentrated on flies for bluegills, cause I like to catch a
lot of fish... But, now I want to catch some big fish as well, so I am
trying some of the bass flies..Now, the last two years, i caught an
occasional largemouth on my bluegill flies... But, can you tie flies that
will catch both equally (or nearly equally) as well??? Or, , for example.. i
tied most of my flies on size 10-16 hooks.. And, the bass flies are tied
mostly on size 6 and bigger... So, could I tie a bass bug, or clouser minnow
, etc ect, in a size that is in between the 6 and the 10 and catch both????
I guess you could say I want to "have my cake and eat it too" LOL..Oh, and
if so, which are some good patterns??? Thanks, Chuck
Chuck:
I use a Sneaky Pete style slider that catches both bass and sunfish.
It's tied on a size 30 Mustad 3777. The only Mustad I've ever used that's
sharp right out of the box. Now don't let the size throw you off. I just
checked and it's close to a size 4. The fly itself is about 2 inches long
with legs and tail and works equally well in catching the bluegill, green,
pumpkinseed, rock bass, smallmouth and largemouth in the local creek I
fish. I tie in Flo Yellow, White, Black and Fire Tiger and Orange Tiger
with the Flo Yellow the most effective.
