Panic Time, What Are You Tying?

[Gandolf]

Hi All,

What are you tying now for this years warm water fishing?

I am in semi-panic mode. I fiddled around much of the winter and didn't tie much of anything. I don't need to tie much, but am busy now trying to chase down tying supplies.

I am hoping to try to catch a bluegill in a week or two, so will be tying again very soon.

My priorities for now are:

1. foam spiders
2. cyrstal buggers, Murray Mauraders, and buggers in very small sizes
3. soft hackles

Hope to be tying by this weekend!

Thanks and regards,

Gandolf

How about Olive Woolly Buggers?

One Fly to find them,
One Fly to bring them all,
And to the tippet bind them...

Black leeches ranging in size from 2 down to 12. I use black arctic fox body fur for the tail and for the leech body I use dubbing brushes made with black seal fur. My absolute go-to pattern for springtime warm water fishing. The small sizes kill bream, crappie and small bass and the larger sizes are my best springtime bass producer. I also tie some of them with a red bead head to add a spot of color and it seems to help when the water clears up a bit.

Caddis emergers and Pheasant Tail Nymphs.

All the flies in my favorites article inthe archives.
Also Hares Ears type flies.
MY main thing now is unweighted and very slow retrieves.

I'm laying in my Summer supply of size #12 Gurgle Pops. I tied 20 today with yellow foam, yellow legs and yellow tails with a Master Bright ruby red belly. Tomorrow it's chartruese. If it ain't chartruese, it ain't.......... Then I need to do white/orange and then dark green. I'll do the size #8's and larger later. BTW, I caught my first topwater bass and topwater brim of the season on a Gurgle Pop two days ago. Water temperature was 59 degrees. A new season begins. 8T

The force is strong in the little green popper!
