Puke Fly-How to fish it

[idabelangler]

I think a fella should fish however or for whatever they damn well want to..with in the law.

Spring fishing for carp has always been the easiest for me. I have had most success with prince nymph patterns fished shallow.

I now have a 9 wt 10' I am hoping to test against some of the monsters we get up here in the mighty Red River.

If it's good enough for Flip Pallot to do a show on... It's good enough for me..

I'd think if it's to represent a puked up,
IE Dead half digested forage fish...
Would not a "dead" drift deep bouncing near bottom.
Be the best way to go about getting the right action to the fly..?
Just my take on how to fish said fly...

"I've often wondered why it is that so many anglers spend so much money on,and pay so much attention to.the details on the wrong end of the fly line.If they took as much care in selecting or tying their flies as they did in the selection of the reel and rod,They might be able to gain the real extra edge that makes it possible to fool a fish that has,in fact,seen it all before" A.K.Best

Everyone wants to excel in this sport but at the same time we let traditionalists place restrictions on our tactics, methods, and ideas. I always assumed that fly fishing was a sport that allowed imagination, creation, adaptation, investigation, dedication, education, revelation? : Fox Statler, On Spinners (Not the dainty Dry Fly kind) "Spinner'd Minner Fly"

Pukefly?

That's reaching. I am sorry, but that's too far out for me. I'm already tying Glo-Bugs. That's as far as I'm going to go! What's gonna be next.....the excrement fly????? Too much for me........

Semper Fi!

Bill, was your "dead drift" pun intentional?

The puke fly if remember correctly was named by a 4 yr old who walked up as his dad was tying a new fly and said" that looks like puke".. thus the name. I would fish it like any other minnow or shad imitation
