Fly Tying Tutorial: Hogan's Summer Smallmouth Fly

Hogan’s Summer Smallmouth Fly fishes well year round, but really shines during the summer months - fished right on the bottom. This pattern is a great crayfish or sculpin imitation and definitely gets the attention of smallmouth!

Looks like a rubbery buggery lip ripper to me. Love it.

I’m putting high hopes on these! I just made 5 of them so I hope they work! Some burnt orange, black and brown!

That'd work year round here in MA 🤙

It’ll also work on salt water schoolies here in New England. Great vid. Thanks.

This fly will work perfectly for tarariras (Wolf fish)

Question, are these available commercially for sale? I'd like to buy a few and try them out in here in West Virginia before I purchase all the material and tie a bunch. Let me know. Thank you

This fly is a lot like a Coffey sparkle minnow. The addition of rubber legs will be a plus, making it look more like a crawfish on the bottom.

[@LoonOutdoors]

no not at all.
