Need the awesomest, beutifulest, fish catchiest brown trout fly ever

[tailingloop]

I googled pictures for pole dancer, luckily my wife wasn't there
What a fly, is it fishscull in the head?
Looks a bit like hitching, but probable not the same.

The pole dancer head is an injection molded head of some type of resin or plastic. It is not yet a available separate from the completed fly. Umpqua Feather Merchants distributes the fly. The fly sits on the surface and walks the dog like a Zara Spook lure. There are some videos of it on YouTube. It has been used successfully for browns here in California.

It would have been easier for Diogenes the Cynic to find an honest man than to find 'the awesomest, beutifulest, fish catchiest brown trout fly ever'.

BUT!!!! If anyone does find it please let us know.

"What a fly, is it fishscull in the head?"

It's a hard foam head. The head is what makes it a Pole dancer.

Stu Thompson has the DDH Leech patterns which he made famous fishing for cats and carp. They would work great on still waters fished deep and slow in colors to match the local leeches. Another thing which BIG BROWNS love is Crawdads! If you have crawdads in your local resevoir or lake, find out when the typically molt...probably sometime in april through june. That is when you want to fish crawdaddy patterns when the real ones are soft shelled!

Well, streamers will be streamers ... and nymphs will do their thing - but what respectable brown, or for that matter what rainbow worthy of it's stripes, can resist a hopper ...?

[thorarinna]

We don't have leeches or crawdads here, but leech will do quite well I think as a general pattern.
As Mike Thomas says earlier, PT is a good pattern and I use it alot for browns!

I have never seen this hopper pattern before, what is it immitating?

Like maybe a "grasshopper" ... do they have such a thing there ...?

[thorarinna]

Haha, no we don't have grasshoppers and we even hardly have mayflies
