FLY OF THE WEEK

By Sean Fenner, August 20, 2010

As advised in my previous post this little Mysis Shrimp Pattern from The Trout Spot can be deadly on Bass. I know most people don’t usually think of smaller flies to catch Bass, but you had better believe that under the right conditions this fly will get them hooked. I like to fish a Size 14 0r 16 with a size 10 or 12 as the heavier dropper to get down a little but deeper. Sometimes it takes thinking a little outside the box and tying on something a little bit different to get the fish to bite!

Janssen’s Minnow was created to imitate the small fish that are a staple in the diet of Trout and Bass. Both are known to be cannibalistic, and around this time of year these imitations do the trick. The fingerlings of the year are starting to come out, and the big boys are looking to pick off a few youngsters. Personally, I like the Shad and Rainbow imitations the best. The Trout Spot sells Brook, Brown, Rainbow, and Shad imitations and I have caught both Trout and Bass on all of them. Pick a few up today, and get that big meat eater Trout or Bass on the other end of your line.

The Clouser Minnow is without a doubt the most essential Saltwater fly. It comes in colors to imitate forage for just about any saltwater quarry. This fly has caught more species than I can even begin to count. Plus, it’s the “go to” Saltwater fly of two of the most famous Fly Fishermen in the game (Lefty Kreh and Bob Clouser). If it’s good enough for these guys to fish all around the world, you had better bet that it will do some damage on the shorelines of our So Cal Beaches. Get a great price on every color pattern you will ever need at the The Trout Spot!

In my experience of Fly Fishing for Trout,  one of the best rough water dry fly patterns is the Humpy. This fly is an attractor pattern for when a hatch is nowhere to be found. The visibility is great on these flies, and I usually go to one first thing in the morning or if I catch myself on a stream in the twilight hours. I prefer to use a yellow, as I have read many articles proposing that Trout are predisposed to taken flies exhibiting the color yellow. I’m not sure just how this conclusion has come about, but I do know that yellow has caught me more fish. So the next time your out on the stream, light conditions are low, and you’re not really sure what to tie on. Pull this pattern out of your box and get ready for the fish to bite!

Bob’s Surf Fly is considered the go to Surf Perch fly for many So Cal Saltwater Fly Fishermen. This fly will definitely serve it’s purpose of catching Surf Perch, but will also probably get you hooked up on any number of other species. I have seen guys catch many a fish on this fly and for Southern California it’s right there next to the Clouser Deep Minnow on my box. The action is starting to heat up this time of year, so get them while it’s hot!

What is a “Hot Butt” fly? Well, it’s just a normal pattern with some kind of red yarn tied into the butt portion of the fly, and on some days that yarn can make all the difference in the world. I remember such a time when I was fishing at Ralph Clark Regional Park and a Bluegill got me caught up on a snag and broke off my Caddis. So, I went to a Hot Butt Caddis of the same tan coloring (it was the next fly over and the Caddis seamed to be working well that day). What a decision, the Panfish went crazy and I caught about 75-100 fish with a couple of hours. It just goes to show you that little changes can make a big difference in fly fishing!
