Tie this one up this holiday for summer fishing love.
Add a red bead for weight and some added bling to make this fly sing this spring.
Hope you are enjoying the family this week. If they get too annoying retire to the tying desk and spin up some Grape Slushy’s.
A wildly popular fly at times when the fish key on the purple color. Which seems to work often here and beyond. Check out this killer article about what fish see subsurface on MidCurrent.
Nearly to the end of 2020. Plan your 2021 trip to the Mo.[/vc_column_text][vc_video link=”https://vimeo.com/122344746″ ratio=”4×3″]
August nymphing requires lots of patience, potential weeds crowding your fly, and the Clouser Crayfish. Or a Zirdle.
A top fly for many nymphers this time of year. Add a split shot or not. Many let it ride as you drift over waving grass and bucket filled moving waters. The takes can be violent. Sometimes looks like the fish ate going 100 mph! The bobber certainly moves.
Six feet! If you cannot se the Indi move that far, fly fishing may not be your game?
One of our favorite “big nymphs” here on the Missouri, and it’s popular for bass and trout other places as well. We’ve put together this Clouser Crayfish fly tying kit with everything you need to tie 2 dozen flies. Perfect for yourself or as a gift.
Enjoy your Thursday. Seasonal temps here today with daytime highs in the mid 70’s. Warmer again as we move into next week.
The Mozuri Minnow from the vise of John Arnold. John patterned this streamer pattern from the Yozuri Minnow fished on light tackle when living in the Florida Keys. Originally tied with Walleye in mind it soon proved to catch plenty of those silly Mozuri River rainbows too!
Now a daily player and certainly an all-star in the winter months here and everywhere.
Tie this up and fish it on your streamer rod, your swing rod, and have a couple back-ups in your box!
Enjoy the video, order up Mozuri Minnow Just Add Vise Kit, and add a couple more too! Winter starts after the holidays…
This is one fly you should have in your possession at all times.
honest.
Swing this baby in the fall. Strip it in the spring.
Or, vice-versa.
Or, both.
Change the colors if you wish. Why not have it available in several color ways? Black is good. White is good. Black and white mixed, is good. Yellow, good. Brown, good. Chartreuse? Good.
Thursday and all is well. Enjoy your weekend ahead. We’ll be fishing. Yesterday in the mid 50’s without wind. Good times. Today? Gonna have to take a drive with a fly rod and see?
Integrate differing colored beads, body color, tail. A fly you can run with. And pretty easy. Remember to spend your dollars with the shop that provides your daily Missouri River entertainment. Yessir. Right here at HH of Craig. You can out a few gallons in the tank with every purchase! Need gas to drive this bus man.
The Fruit Roll Up will be part of your streamer selection that you return too often. Or the Thin Mint. That is a winner too!
