Robert,

I know that you like to fish a Crease Fly and that you've done well on it. How do you fish it and when?

I'm not the only one, Steve. I hear from some of our fellow FAOLers that have done well on it also. They asked me to make mine (MCF or Minnow Crease Fly) a FOTW, so stay tuned. I give it a line twitch or I slowly retrieve it with jerks and pauses as it rides on or just below the surface. I don't worry about it if it lays on its side sometimes as it suggests a crippled minnow. I use it when I know the fish are keying in on minnows and sometimes even when they are not. Bigger fish eat smaller fish, namely minnows. So it seems that they like to bite it under most any circumstances at least for me anyway.
