misfish Posted August 2, 2021 Report Posted August 2, 2021 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,,,,,,,,, 2
OhioFisherman Posted August 3, 2021 Report Posted August 3, 2021 Sounds like something to try for a different look? 1

There are so many soft plastics out there, but I get pure satisfaction when I can tie something that works. Got a few more to try. I want to make some fly swim baits, but it takes time . The one I am working on has some bouncy, so you can have like a 3-6 inch leader drop . 1
Rustic-Fisher Posted August 3, 2021 Report Posted August 3, 2021 Nice work !! Wish I had the patience to tie some of those creations ! 1
