 I decided to get to work on some flies for the trout stream. I whipped up a half dozen size 16 pheasant tail nymphs. These are an incredible fly on the trout stream. I bet they would be a killer fly…Continue

Tying and rigging an Alewife Tube Fly for salmon fishing

Posted on August 28, 2011 at 1:00pm 1 Comment

I have recently started trolling for salmon on Lake Ontario with home-made tube flies. I have had better luck with flasher/flly trolling than with trolling spoons. I use a medium action level wind, line counter reel and trolling rod. To get the fly down to the fish, I use a Dipsy Diver. Following are instructions for making and using flies the way I have been doing it.

 

Materials:

  • Tube: 1/8” OD plastic tubing
  • Thread: White, 6/0
  • Body: Rabbit…

The BLT - my freshwater, subsurface go-to fly

Posted on May 27, 2011 at 12:30pm 0 Comments

My BLT is similar to a brown wooly bugger but without the palmered hackle, with Clouser minnow-style eyes and a short tail. Originally tied for smallmouth bass, it has proven effective for me on just about all fresh water species. It is embarrasingly simple looking (kind of like a brown little turd - hence the name) but extremely effective. Fish it near the bottom with a fast sinking or intermediate fly line.

 

Ingredients:

  • Hook: Daiichi 2220 #6
  • Thread:…

Thanks, Jude.  I'm excited about Kayak fishing -- have been an angler for more years than I'd like to admit, but just got a fishing Kayak.  Of course, the weather has been lousy ever since I got it, so haven't had a chance to use it but a couple of times, but I think I'm going to like this style of fishing.
