Ghost Minnow

[Diane]

Here's the minnow i tied with that ghost fiber I was looking for a couple of weeks ago. Great stuff. So fine that you can pull it apart with your hands. Fun to tie.

How does it look in the water?

[Diane]

hey dennis. looks good in the water. front half is lightly coated with flex-coat so it keeps the body. back end moves more and it looks like a swimmer to me. we'll see if the fish buy it.

Your Ghost minner is a winner!

If you can pull it apart with your hands, will it stand up to multiple catches or will it shread easily? I'm not complaining, just curious.

Diane; That Ghost Fiber looks realy great. Just one question, if you can pull it apart with your fingers. Does it stand up to a mauling by an angry trout??
Your fly looks great, and should charm the fish with no trouble. Jax

I'm a much better Fly fisher when talking fishing, than when I'm Actually Fly fishing!

I guess I'll be finding out. I learned this fly in an FFF meeting demo and the guy who taught it said he'd been having luck with it. I just wanted to try working with the material. But now that I've tied a few, I'm having some serious need to make some fish angry with it. I'll let you guys know how it does later in the spring.

[old geezer]

very nice, where did you find the Ghost fibre material ??

Thanks

I look into... my fly box, and think about all the elements I should consider in choosing the perfect fly: water temperature, what stage of development the bugs are in, what the fish are eating right now. Then I remember what a guide told me: 'Ninety percent of what a trout eats is brown and fuzzy and about five-eighths of an inch long.' - Allison Moir.
