Caterpillar flies....
Has anyone tied up any fat caterpillar flies? I did some field testing on my variation on a worm fly as did some friends and family. I tied smaller ones for bluegills that were chartrues chennille with strands of peacock herl pulled accross the back and gray, black, brown etc. hackle front and rear. I used streamer hooks as well as natural bend nymph hooks. They were pretty good. I used the same on #2 and #4 streamer hooks and went after large trout. My brother had great results on good size rainbows. I will try to get some examples posted if anyone is interested. I have also been playing with some natural and dyed ostrich herl that has potential as well. perhaps a fly exchange?
