More Fishing Pictures from Today

I tied up this Blue Wooly Killer Bugger and got some takers - size 12 hook seemed to intimidate the normal takers... I usually use a size 14. Note the lip hook up on the bluegill - best endorsement if I may say so.

Break - Fast

We haven't been fishing in over a week or so (plus or minus - work, errands, and all that other "Not Fishing" stuff). Well - we broke that streak today. I used the fatter and heavier killer bug and caught roughly 8 in 30 minutes. For the type of fishing here at the lake, I need to make these flies a little lighter. Tied per instructions with the copper wire winds, these sink pretty quick. I've also been researching whitewater SUP surfing... check back shortly for more on that stuff...

Fly Tying Progress

The latest flies I tied up: from the bottom up - kebari-ish on a 16, a half-thickness Killer Bug and a "per instruction" full-thickness Killer Bug - both on 14 size hooks. On the vise is the head on a clouser on a size 4 hook. The small flies are obviously for the freshwater (lake behind our neighborhood), but the clousers and the sand crab flies I will be tying are targeting Virginia Beach and the Outer Banks (later in August or September).
