Spin Flies Way....Way....Way back when...I used to fly fish sometimes with spin flies. I used Rooster Tail 1/32 oz with the propeller blade. Recently I discovered a stash of those blades which I apparently purchased during one of my lure building frenzies. So I got to thinking (always a dangerous thing) "Why not a spin fly with those neat little propeller blades?"I have no idea if they'll work. The blades spin freely with a slight breath of air. I think they'll add something for a fish to notice. I'll find out tomorrow. I have another Sunday expedition to unknown waters. A piece f stream I've looked at for many years and never tried. By all rights, there should be smallmouth in this water I'll report with pics.RG
I'm gonna weight some as well. They drift ever so slowly. I need to get down into the deeper holes. Neat stuff for sure.RG
Here's a simple stupid fly that really works. Bob's "Foam Hopper Popper"It makes a pleasing little blurp when short stripped. Made the bass and blue gills crazy this last weekend. Yellow and black seemed most effective.RG
