First off, make sure you really weight the u...Sure. First off, make sure you really weight the underbody. Using a ton of zonker when you palmer means it will be resistant to float, even if you use a tungsten cone. I think the fish take them for a sculpin or even a crayfish, so you want them to be low in the water column.<br /><br />Keep the tail a little long. When they hit the water, it almost had a flipper effect similar to a paddle tail plastic worm. <br /><br />When fishing them, cast across and a little upstream and aim for the opposite bank. I usually let them drop before I start to move them. Sometimes you'll get a strike on the drop. <br /><br />I'll jig it slightly under about 12 o'clock, and then I just start stripping it in slowly while letting it swing a little. If I don't get strikes or follows I'll try to vary the stripping speed, or sometimes even let it dead drift with an occasional twitch. That's usually effective towards the end of the drift.Dub The Thoraxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11018492570541729978noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2115004375636882599.post-8884690807294129392011-03-19T12:09:58.150-04:002011-03-19T12:09:58.150-04:00Very nice fly Mike.
