Badger Mountain Charlie SASS #43172 Posted January 1, 2015 Author Share Posted January 1, 2015 I have heard of a burlap fly somewhere in the dark recesses of my brain bucket. I think it was a steelhead fly tied by a local. Enos Bradner. I could be wrong on that. I suspect that it represents a mayfly nymph to a trout.

Chickasaw Bill SASS #70001 Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 BMC I have no idea , whom came up with it , first saw it around 10 years ago , I thought , it was someones attempt to fake the food , they use in the hatchery , as it is brown with green flecks in it CB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badger Mountain Charlie SASS #43172 Posted January 1, 2015 Author Share Posted January 1, 2015 With all of the materials that are available now, you can get almost any effect you want. I came across some black chenille with blue and red flash woven in. Dynamite stuff for dark flies. Maybe I will tie up some this week end. How about a dynamite black woolie bugger with a black chrome bead head and some of that chenille? ED: How about a burlap soft hackle. Start with a few turns of lead wire to get the sink. Tie in a strand of burlap thread, or even a dubbed brown body, add some flash like flashabou or kristalflash, and a soft grizzly hackle? Fish it deep on the rise like a nymph on the make. Size 10 or 12 hook for trout and size 4 or 6 steelhead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chickasaw Bill SASS #70001 Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 Badger I looked at all the materals , on the shelves at a store , the other day all sorts of , ideas came up , NONE that were practical I would need a very BIG building , just to house it all looked at the SPARKLE stuff , think it would add a lot of FLASH , maybe too much CB I did up a few 1/16 jigs with the peral , did well in stained water Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badger Mountain Charlie SASS #43172 Posted January 1, 2015 Author Share Posted January 1, 2015 That black chenille has very little flash, just enough to attract fish, me thinks. Sure looks good to the fisherman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Badger Mountain Charlie SASS #43172 Posted January 1, 2015 Author Share Posted January 1, 2015 Well, just got back from the rivers. Snoqualmie is falling and clearing. It is fishable but so many out today I just wet a line and then moved on. Will try again tomorrow when it is raining. Skykomish is not fishable. Running high fast and dark. Will need for it to clear some before I try it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noz Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 I was told many years ago that there are only three colors that fish are attracted to: White, Yellow and Black. All other colors attract the fishermen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chickasaw Bill SASS #70001 Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 I am not gonna say much , except , I think shades of color can be more visable at certian times than others the clearer , the view , the more likely a sight feeder , is gonna take a poke at it CB BUT , I is just a REDNECK , so what would I know ?

Tyrel Cody Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 Yeah, but what do you do to the them crankbaits afore you put them in the water? Nothing to it. Just tie on a Bandit 200 series Red Crawfish onto a spinning outfit with 8-10 lb test line and drag it across a gravel bar; bass tear them up around here in the spring.

Michigan Slim Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 My preferred salmon bait as a kid was a nice big treble with a 1 oz. lead weight in the middle.....It had big nasty barbs...... Sure would like to have all that lead back now....... So tell me. Here we are on page 8. Did we ever call out Chickasaw Bill? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badger Mountain Charlie SASS #43172 Posted January 2, 2015 Author Share Posted January 2, 2015 I got so excited about the fish, I forgot all about Chickasaw Bill. He is on his own for fish. Just like things happen, I was going to tie on some SUCKER SPAWN my #1 hooks for steelhead. Couldn't find the right material so I used diamond braid. Looks kinda funny so I guess I will try it and see if the fish care. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michigan Slim Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 Used to use fresh sucker spawn too! A ball about the size of a quarter, wrapped in a red mesh pouch. Worked real well. Make some up and just run a hook through. Kinda sucked to fall and smash one in your pocket...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badger Mountain Charlie SASS #43172 Posted January 2, 2015 Author Share Posted January 2, 2015 This is a yarn fly with loops only tied on the hook. If you smash one in a pocket you are gonna bleed. I tied on some red thread on a red #1 Gamakatsu barbless hook and then bunched up three strands of diamond braid, two red on the side and silver in the middle. Sure is bright for roe, but I wonder if the fish will notice in dirty water. I know that they can count because if you tie some mayflies, you are gonna need 2 or 3 tails, depending of the species.
