Trick Or Treat Wet Fly

[Fontinalis]

Hi everyone this is my own creation that is a variation of a fly that I will be posting in a few days. The name of the fly is called the Trick Or Treat. I went fishing on the South Branch below lake Solitude this past November 2011. Actually it was the first weekend after Halloween that was a really nice day. So I am on stream and get nothing to hit on any of the wet flies that I fished with that day. So I had three of these flies in box box and tyed one one fished it for about 5 minutes and caught a nice 8 inch Brown. Wound up catching 5 more Browns that day. I sat their and laughed and had a great time fishing and coulf not believe this fly that was destined as a holiday ornament for Halloween actually was productive and had taken Browns. Now I plan this year to filed trial the fly in the fall time say October November and see if it works again.

I have caught numerous large browns and rainbows off black and orange lures. Killer combo.

Nice looking fly! First thing across my mind when I saw the picture was 'BROOKIES!', but, apparently, browns, too!

The first thing that came to my mind when I saw that fly is “What a beautifully tied fly!” It's darn near perfect! I love the colors and evidently so do the fish. Thanks for sharing.

It is most definitely a beautiful fly.
For fishing, I wonder if replacing the tail and wing with fox squirrel wouldn't still produce fish and be far more durable.

Very nice job and I like the color combo. I think Don Bastian would have been proud to have tied that one. The proportions are just about perfect.
