Bream killer can catch .......

GOt the bream killer out to go after some bream and the darned bass wouldn’t leave it alone :slight_smile:

Haha, I wish I could say the same! I can’t seem to keep the bream OFF my line!

Is the bream killer a surface or subsurface fly? How do you fish it?

Andrew: Go to the home page of FAOL. ON the left side is a search window. Type in “bream killer” and then click the enter key on your keyboard. A new page should appear that will give you a link to the bream killer. Hope this helps.

It will float and I guess if you coated it with gel it would float pretty well.

I let it sink straight down. It gets hits on the way down. If it doesn’t I will strip it in a bit and sometimes that gets a bite.

This “bream killer”?

I whipped me up a few bream killers over the weekend. Made a few different colors, some with white legs, some with chartruse and some woth black legs.
Pretty easy to make.
Gonna try that ‘Desperation’ too.

I’ve tied a couple variations of this fly in 10s and 12s. This is definitely on my short list for big 'gills. Fished with an avid giller last year who only carried two bg flies with him - a popper and a Bully Spider. Now, he carries three. :wink:

Caught some on a bass popper over the weekend but they loved the bream killer.

I used a nymph hook(12?)
-lead weight on some.
-whatever color chenile you want.
-wrap 2 legs on either side. Pull tight so body(chenile) pulls in, in the middle to give the fly a rounded front and rear sections.
-tie in squirrel hair at the front. hair about to the end of the fly.
-whip

Done. Easy as pie. Even a beginner fly tier like me can make them.

Just for information I went to a pond 5 minutes from the store here over my lunch time and caught the snoot out of the bluegills. For a while I caught a gill on every cast on a black body chartruse marraboo tailed gurglepop. They would either smack it as soon as ith hit the water or sometimes I would have to just pull it very slow and steady. In 30 minutes I must have caught 30+ fish and had a great time. Sunday in a diffrent pond I caught 3 catfish on a little bead head pheasant tail. Largest probably went a little over 5lbs. Fun on a 3wt.

Floris? hell, I been to Floris… Ain’t that just a little east of Belknap? :wink:

Good job on the 'gills. Haven’t been out for a couple days but having a little trouble getting them “lit” over here. (Elrick Jct) :wink:

takecare…g
