Flys for drop shotting ? Where do they come from? The bottom of course. Yes this is now August, but this fly I tied is a May fly. Simcoe May fly. I was out for whities and lakers this morning, but non to play with, so I headed in after a few hours and decided to rig up a drop shot rig. 7grm vibrado and a fly as a drop. What a combo I must say. I just let the float boat drift, twitching the virdrado off the bottom. Perch and small smallies were smashing and grabbing the baits. Looks like I have another winner fly that can be tied in various colors. This one was olive marabou and grizzly hackle as wings. Beauty start to the morning . It looks like a real bug to me,,,,,,,,,

Agreed, it is sharp. And I’d do the same. Close the hole, replace the transom, add a knee brace and splashwell. But over the long run. Winter project. I’d try to get it running and use it for the rest of the season if it didn’t cost an arm and a leg.

I've caught a ton of Pigeon Lake muskies over the years and when casting always did well with brightly colored bucktails in the north end and big spinnerbaits in the shallower southern half of the lake.
