This looks fun, may I suggest taking a small piece of tape to hold the legs together and keep them out of the way while tying the fly... Then trim all 4 legs at once as you cut the tape off after the whip finish...

This one is RIGHT in my wheelhouse! I fly fish predominantly for panfish, since there are very few trout waters in my area. I've seen this bug before, and now I'm definitely going to try it! I love catching gills and tiny largemouth on dries and foam flies!

I've been to panfish on the fly a few times, good stuff. Looks like I'm not alone on seeing this Bug before, but I don't remember where. Also I've seen similar style bugs with a foam cylinder tucked in the fold for eyes. But I've never seen a popper hook with a horizontal kink like that, looks tailor made for that Bug. Great find and meet at that show Matt, thanks!

Appreciate it Joe! I hope you and the family had a great Thanksgiving. We had a pretty low-key relaxing weekend at the farm. I got out on the Savage for a few hours Saturday morning. I fished dry flies the whole time, because I'm stubborn like that. And only one fish all day. :-)

I've tied some of these and agree the cutters would make life easier and the flies more uniform. I like the shape because the wide heads stop the fly from being swallowed by bluegill with their small mouths.
@SavageFlies Жыл бұрын
You're 100% right Mel... and I think Bart even mentioned that's why he made it like he did- to keep panfish from swallowing too much of it.

What is the largest fly can you use for panfish? I only used small flies or those little Gaines poppers for them, since I thought they would be appropriate (or maybe New England panfish are smaller?).
@SavageFlies Жыл бұрын
That's a good question Bob. I typically don't go bigger than a 10, sometimes an 8 for my panfish bugs, but Bart gave me these hooks at the show in NJ and they were size 8s so I suppose that's a good size for them. But you know something else... I was fishing out of my float tube in a local pond last summer. I was hoping to catch some largemouth and was using a Lefty's Red & White (a big long-shank, size 6 streamer), and caught three decent sunfish with it (no bass). And if I recall, I didn't have any missed strikes so these three were certainly able to get a size 6 in their mouth. :-)
