[Pocono]

I've never tyed up Bass or Panfish flies; but I'm up for trying.

I'll get a hold of a good pattern book and start finding out what this is all about.

Count me in, Mark.

Just ordered "Flies for Bass & Panfish", by Stewart. So, I should be coming up to speed in a couple of weeks. Should be fun!

If beginners are welcome, I'd be happy to contribute a size 10 or 12 possie bugger. It seems to be a good bass pattern, and big carp don't mind them either. I haven't had a chance to try it out on pan fish, but I have high hopes.

I'd like to try this out! I'm looking at my Black foam nighttime size 8 hopper, and just in time for the best hopper fishign of the year!

 

[peregrines]

Great guys, you're all in, looking forward to seeing these flies.

Who else wants to play?

 

[lucas.j.dunton]

In with a gurgler, not sure of the size yet gotta see what I have for bass hooks, somewhere between a 2 and a 2/0

 

[MacFly55]

[peregrines]

macfly the diawl bach should be a killer panfish fly.

Lucas, the double gurgler looks great.

Cancel the black gnat. I still want to tie, but typical gnats are sized 14-18 and tonight I spent about 5 minutes getting a size 14 out of a blue's gullet.

He seemed no worse for the wear though.

I think I'll find something larger to tie. Will let you know.

 

[ant]

Make mine a streamer pattern. Still working out the details.

 

[peregrines]

Great, Alcorn, Ant and Brandy you're all in, and I'm in too.

macfly55 August 15, 2010 is the due date.

As flies come in I'll update the status on the 1st post/page of this thread, and will send PM's to the tyer to let him/her know that his/her flies arrived safe and sound.

Boser- Your flies arrived- Thanks again!

I've knocked out half my flies, the nighttime hopper. It's of my own sort of creation, it's like a lot of standard hoppers that use a deer hair underwing but instead I wrap some black hackle in the body segments to give it a buggier look and push some water.
For the legs I use a black ruber and tie them with four strands, and leave them long to create more surface disturbance, all of this plus black foam with a wee little pink spot on top to see in low light!
