Or even getting creative and using something a bit left of field. We had some wilted celery in the fridge the other day, and it goes really floppy with a great action like a softbait! I might have to rig one up and try catch a fish on a stick of celery! Here's a tube fly, there's a guy on the kayak fishing forum who swears by these for catching all of his KY livebaits, trolling behind the yak. His don't even have any eyes or mylar tubing or anything, just a Bic pen bit and the hook. Should cast with the fly rod ok. I'll likely have a tail of some description on the hook that I use it with. I have seen this type made surface popper fly and very effective on some fish. |

One day there were thousands of jelly fish drifting in the current, each one had at least 15 tiny bait fish drifting under each one, king fish smashing the bait fish under the jelly fish, some were hitting so hard the jelly fish was popping out of the water.. I had seen that fly some where, so I tied with 3 flies on one hook. of course with out the jelly fish on top. didn't work, put a single #6 hook fly, it worked, so I canned the Idea, but it doesn't mean it won't work. |
