The inchworm is a fly pattern that I have just recently discovered, and I am liking what I have seen. I have tied it on twice up in Gabriels and both times the trout really seemed to key in on it. This fly is supposed to be imitating a moth larva, though I personally have never seen them on any water I fish in the Gabriels or the Berdinos. But, the Trout hit it and that’s all that matters. I like one with a nice indicator tuft for easy visibility, it helps if your fly drifts into a shadow cast on the water. I am finding that the more I am willing to adapt and try new patterns and techniques I am coming away skunked less and less, but don’t get me wrong I still have my days!
Okay I was checking the Orvis website yesterday to see what flies I was going to pick up at the Pasadena Store, and I came across this fly the “Melrose Mullet”. This fly is not supposed to be an imitation of the fish (Mullet), but rather the hair style (Mullet) that is sooo awesome. I am also going to guess that because this fly looks like a fish would never come near it, it will probably catch fish. I think I will put one in my fly box, just as a conversation starter if I ever meet a Fly Fisher out on the water with a Mullet Haircut.
The Eggi Juan Kenobi has got be one of the coolest flies that I have ever seen. This fly is the Glowbug and the San Juan worm in one fly, and they even added a bead head to help get it down. I got to fish over at the LA River with this fly, and I have got to say that the Carp definitely have a week spot for it. Pick a couple up at Orvis or play with the pattern and tie a couple of your own.
If anyone is looking for a good Fly Fishing store in the Pasadena area check out the Pasadena Orvis Store. It is a great place to buy flies they have alot of great patterns and if you get on their mailing list they will send you some good offers. Here is the website to check it out.
A couple of weeks ago I stopped by the Orvis Store in Pasadena and pickup up their Safe Passage Sling Pack. Before I was wearing a vest while Fly Fishing and had really wanted a sling pack, but I could not find one that I really liked. Then my friend Dan bought one of these packs and I had seen how much he like it, so I had to get one for myself. Let me tell you this is a great pack, and I love the style and versatility. So if you need a pack check this one out at Orvis!!!
