Those "Atlantic" Blue Charms work like a darn in Trout Alley on Babine Lake |

Awesome work!
For us mortals who aren't now and in my case never will be that good, I'd still like to know how you tied those egg patterns. Are they made of hot glue?

Very simple pattern to tie. Very quick tie as well. |

Albertafisher ties some mean flies. :)
|
nice looking flies albertafisher, if you come UP through the eye of the hook, your hook will trail better and grab more lip, than coming down as you have them in your pic.
|
Squid flies don't catch bulls... I catch bulls.
|
Are those tied on tubes, or are you cutting the bend off of a long shanked hook?
|
I think he uses waddington shanks, not sure on the squids though.

You might have to whip me up a couple of those squidies. Let me know how much you want for them.

Here are some of my own predator fly patterns:
Whitefish imitation(this guys is the only one I have left so he's looking a little rough from all the use): -3" articulated shank, "large" fish skull, tungsten bullet weight (underneath the chenille), and a 5/0 salt water eagle claw hook. This bad boy is my favorite to throw for bullies and pike and is heavy enough that you could cast it a mile on a spinning rod with 20lb braid.http://i1085.photobucket.com/albums/...r/PB050029.jpg "Pike slider" (I actually saw this guy in an old Canadian Fly Fisher mag and replicated it, but much bigger ;)): - About 10" long, 2/0 salt water hook, very simple to tie, but expensive haha http://i1085.photobucket.com/albums/...r/PB050033.jpg "Pinkie": - Another simple tie, 2/0 salt water hook, 5" long, but a good fly that p***es off pike and walleye in shallow, stained water (good for shallow lakes with large BG algae blooms). http://i1085.photobucket.com/albums/...r/PB050035.jpg When I get back into tying season, I'll show some of my "trout friendly" patterns. Because lets face it, these flies won't catch any athabows... |
That whitefish imitation would be deadly up north! Is that DNA fibre? Like I said, I know of couple big pike near Slave Lake that would love to munch on that! I love big flies. I would fish 8" heavy leaches north of winnipeg for big fresh water drumon the fly.
|
What exactly is a fresh water drum? Never heard of them before.

If you guys want, when I get tying I can make a SBS for this fly. Big flies are so much to fish though. Because 90% you get bigger fish on them. Drum take that big of flies!? That's awesome. I know they have a big yap, but an 8" leech.... Haha sweet.. |
Yup i'll try to dig up the pics of the monstrous sheeps head. Ever hear of a cheap mans pearl? The otilith "bone" gets pretty big on these fish. You can count the age of the fish without looking through a microscope.
I had tied up size 4 7x, with a trailer. It was a very big fly that was supposed to pull in some huge walleye from the peg, but all I got was drum. So I kept on fishing for drum. They fight well in the bigger size. |
