Now since CC has all of a sudden taken a liking to me I felt as though I should follow through on my earlier promise.
Here are the flies that spend the majority of their time at the end of my sink tips. I chose 3 (4) different variations to post which cover pretty much all conditions.
Starting at the top are the mickyfinn/variation. I normally fish these flies in smaller flows with a little bit of colour to them, but in turn these were the first flies I ever swung on the NE coast of superior. They can be sized up or down depending and are tied more or less weightless.
Secondly is the string thing, I tie mine weightless in 3 sizes ( S,M,L), the are a shank fly and as you can see have many colour variations to be fished in varying conditions. Gawky colours for the winter with a bigger profile and more subtle colours for lower water.
Lastly my Favourite of the bunch as a few of you may know from my previous posts about it. The squidro can fulfil pretty well any role you put it in. I am just learning to tie these (this was bought from leland) but the carry what Scott Howell (the father of squidro) calls the series. Seafood series- A series of more natural ocean coloured flies in varying sizes, The summer series- A series of flies in crayfish, sculpin, leech variations in smaller sizes. Winter series- Big Gawky bugs with bigger lead eye. looking for a reaction strike.
Well these are my favourites. What are yours?
