How to make foam head bunny fly | The Woodsman Hut | Forums

I used to. Mainly for saltwater fishing, but some for bass and bream.

The best fly for bream was a fly called the Squirrely:

It'll catch lots of different species, and it can't be any easier to tie.

For bass, I'd use untrimmed spun deer hair flies for dragging over grass and lily pads. It looked like hell(I called it the Sasquatch), but it would never hang up and the bass would crush it. The other topwater fly I used was the Gerbubble bug, tied with marabou instead of chicken feather. The less you moved it, the better it worked.

Subsurface flies would either be a weighted Wooly Bugger tied bushy or a fly made with a shoelace...acted like a plastic worm but easier to cast than a rabbit strip.

Oh man, that's a slippery slope you're headed down. First, it's, "I'm just gonna get a vise, some tools, and a couple bucktails"...and before you know it, you find yourself in a fabric store running feather boas through your fingers.

At that point, you're about a hair's breadth from shopping for antiques and putting show tunes on your iPod.

Are you ahead of the game?

You're so far ahead you're looking back between your legs.
