I was stream fishing in Alaska last September when a guy from Montana wanted to fish in my hole. Since he had to catch a flight in a couple of hours, I said "Sure. Go ahead."
He proceeded to catch 4 in about 45 minutes while I watched (I had caught numerous fish here over the last several days, but not on this day).
After he left, I went back to my backpack to eat lunch and found he had left me two of his flies. I put one on and in short order caught 4 nice silvers of about 12# each.
I just got around to dissecting the two flies and found that the only real difference was the CONEHEAD. It is 3/8" in diameter at the base, which is hollowed out and is 1/4" in length. The sides are straight, not bullet shaped and it appears to be made of either stainless steel or tungsten.
Does anyone know where these can be purchased? The largest ones I can find are 1/4" in diameter and the sides are curved rather than straight.
