Granted, I'm not the most experienced but I've never seen a Kreelex tied in anything but gold and silver. Very cool color scheme!

Kind of a different looking fly, but who knows what the fish want. I guess the fish do, but they're not talking. Keep the good stuff coming Brian.

@JimMurphyinSTL9 ай бұрын
That's such a simple, quick tie. I've never fished a Kreelex. The profile seems like it would get super skinny as it's pulling through the water. Am I reading this right? I like the addition of the shank and, at that size, it doesn't seem like it would get hung up on itself.
@flyfishingtheozarks8 ай бұрын
So, during movement it does get pretty skinny....but during the fall it flares out really well--especially in slower water. The flash will always be a little bit of a pain at times when it comes to fouling.

@dirkvannieuwenhove8 ай бұрын
Love the pattern but just one question (might me being brought up with books from Bob Popovics): why do you cut the flash straight and not tapered for better movement? I have noticed while fly fishing for pike that flash cut off at the same length tends to cloth together and moves less than tapered sections
@flyfishingtheozarks8 ай бұрын
This fly is one of the few times that I don't think we are looking at THE Kreelex unles the cuts are on hard angles. 99.9% of the time I like tapers too.
@billkeenum13039 ай бұрын

Polarflash has a better opposing color that what Kreelex offers.
