We dont have any fly shops in NE, so you gotta roll your own.

nice looking flies

Nice flies Marty. I love fishing poppers too. I also love to spin hair but they really dont fish well after a few bites. I experimented for years and settled on his as my go to. Its essentially a NYAP (a fly for GTs) scaled down. I use 1/4” foam. Cut your head and burn a hole in the bottom with a bobbin. You can make a mess of these quick. Just a short strip of rabbit on the hook. Super glue the head, then sharpie. #2 lightwire hook. Heres a few before and one after. Its a small fly for sure, but big and small bass like it all the same.

I go to a guys house a few towns away...and get all my flies there.

He is a commercial fly tier

Beautiful stuff.

I once caught a wood duck in a 330 set for beaver...said to myself..

I bet Ron the Fly guy could use this duck....and boy did he evah !!

He slid me a ton of flys for that duck

One of Ron's trout / Salmon killah

Perm bait

Have you tried the flexos SP? Curious how they fish

Theres also a single claw crab fly i was gonna try tying

I’ve caught perms/ bones/ triggers on flexos in Cuba,Honduras,Mexico and Belize

Great crab pattern,,,, match the bottom color

Light color for sandy flats,,, olive for weedy flats

They’re crabs so not a lot movement

I believe you’re describing a strong arm merkin type fly,,,, also a great fly

I didn’t tie the flys above. My buddy, who’s a very talented tyer that I’ll be fishing with in March texted me the pic tonight

He’s getting ready,,, he needs more flexos. lol
