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.
"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
"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).
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...
