A few weeks ago a good friend of mine told me about a possible Musky trip that I could go on... the crew will consist of two boats and 5 guys all of which will be throwing gear. "Can I try throwing flies??" was my only question. I haven't been this excited about a fishing trip in a long time, and the preparation has been (and usually is) a lot of fun. So here are my first attempts at Musky Flies... the next step is giving them a try in some local water to see how they cast and swim.
My very first attempt... I got the general idea from fellow William Joseph Ambassador Brad Bohen, and his awesome PDF from Hatches Magazine.
Here are the rest of the prototypes... I added in 'typical' streamers for scale. The wooly bugger is a #8, and the Black Streamer is an articulated double bunny that is around 4" in length.
I will post again either before the trip or after with the results and finished 'box' of flies I will be bringing with me.
