Recently I was sent a few great photos from one of our blog followers Dave Gollihugh. After seeing these photos, I am struggling to figure out if Dave is a better Fly Fisherman or a Photographer. Keep up the great work Dave, and if any of you guys out there want to send me photos to post on blog I would be more than willing!
The Matuka fly was created in New Zealand for their notoriously large and ferocious Rainbow Tout. Over time however this fly has become a go to streamer for many Fly Fishermen all over the world. This is a great big fish fly that I love to use on large bodies of slow moving water. You can cover alot of ground with this fly, and it works well on large Trout as well as Bass and Panfish (from what I have been told it works especially well on Smallmouth Bass). My personal favorite colors are Black with a red belly or white with a black belly. This fly is also highly effective with the hook up instead of down making it somewhat of a weedless fly, and great for the daring Carp looking to pick it up on the fall. Get a few from my buddy Richard over at “The Trout Spot”.

Dragonfly patterns are a great way to get bites from the BIG FISH in any pond. If you are ever fishing a body of water and you see any kind Of Damsel Flies, tie on a pattern to match and hold on for dear life when that big fish comes flying out the water. I love using these patterns at Clark Regional near the Lilly Pads, I have caught a few nice Bass and have had a couple chunky Bluegills take a bite. So, if you are a fly fisherman looking for the big bite from a big fish you need to have a couple in your box.
