FLY OF THE WEEK

Ants can be found by water all over the world, and are in my opinion one of the most overlooked terrestrial flies. Every year Spring through Fall there never fails to be days when I am out on the water and I see Ants being blown into the water. To which I grab an Ant pattern out of my box and the fish start hitting. I remember one such time when I was fishing Santa Anita Creek and I was getting skunked, when all of the sudden I felt something on my neck. I grabbed it with my finger and it was none other than an ant, so I tied on a matching size and caught 9 fish on that one fly in the next hour. The next time your out on the water and you see ants, don’t be afraid to tie one on. After all Entomology is one of the key aspects to this amazing sport, and insect account for more than 2/3 of the worlds known organisms! Pick up a few patterns over and The Trout Spot, it’s where I get most of my flies and the prices are great.

Springtime brings great action for Sunfish on terrestrials, and my favorite one to catch them on is a Foam Beetle. There is just something about the Beetle Profile that drives the Pre Spawn fish crazy. If I had to pick what fly I thought would catch me a big Panfish a Beetle would be the first imitation to make it our of my fly box. The fish seem to bite them hard, and the profile allows for good hookups. When I need to stock up I go to The Trout Spot, where Richard offers all kinds of Fly Fishing accessories of great quality at an amazing price!

A Strike Indicator Fly is a great alternative to the traditional strike indicator. In my Opinion it fishes the dropper much more naturally and it seems to help get more hits. I have even caught a few Trout, Bass, and Panfish on this fly. Generally I would just use a Hopper for the dry, but this fly is a lot easier to see in low light conditions and fast water. It’s a better solution than straining your eyes trying to keep track of your fly. So get rid of your Indicator Yarn or those Twist Ons and pick a couple of these bad boys up and increase the number of fish you catch. Get them over at The Trout Spot and get quality flies at an unbeatable price!

Turks Tarantula is one of those flies that you tie on thinking “I can’t believe that Trout hit this thing”, but they will hit it and hit it hard. This fly has great Visibility and Floatation for the fast riffles that pull other flies under, and I love to fish it with a dropper Copper John or Prince Nymph. I’m not going to even try and start to name all of the bugs this thing imitates. Let’s just say that it looks like a ton of terrestrials and stoneflies. It’s a great Attractor pattern to tie on when searching for fish, and trust me it will turn a few heads. Pick up a few today over at The Trout Spot and get great quality flies at an amazing price!

The Sucker Spawn is a tradition go to, winter Steelhead fly. But, we don’t really have many uses for Steelhead Flies in Southern California. Luckily this fly doubles as one of my favorite Carp Flies. I have a whole box dedicated to Sucker Spawns and Egg Flies just for Carp on the LA River and other local waters. I have tied this fly more than any other and in so any different material, color, size, etc. variations that it would be to long to list. Pick up some materials over at The Trout Spot and tie a few of your own variations.
