Gar Fly Pattern Tying Video

How to tie at rope fly for gar. Works fantastic on all gar species and works best when thrown on a 6wt to 8wt fly rod. I prefer to throw this on a floating line or medium sinking line. Retrieve the fly with long slow strips or small quick strips with pauses. Do not set the hook when you feel a bite! Let the gar chomp on the fly and take line for 5 or 6 seconds before you tighten up. The gar's teeth will tangle in the line, he will realize he's hooked, and fight like crazy!

definitely like the pattern, but you can't file for a IGFA record on a fly/lure that doesn't have a hook, wouldn't that be some luck, catch state/world record fish only to have it not count because you didnt' use a hook, even fit was caught on the rope portion? Also, what if another fish hits it? Definitely better to tie it on a hook still IMO.

Theres no hook

[@matthawkins2454]

The gar's teeth get tangled in the rope so there's no need for a hook! Their mouths are so bony anyway that it's near impossible to use a hook.
