Nice, came you make me one for Sunday?

Wayne,
Absolutely. I’ll make you some in a couple different sizes.
Well…as long as you’re tying…:lol:
Lol. :lol: I’m going to make you some too Jack.
Very nice fly.
Regards,
Scott
Hey Joe
I cannot believe that Warren used a bead. Is that your variation of the fly??
By the way…nice looking fly, I will take a dozen!!
Brad
No, it’s actually the fire orange, the one he showed me uses chartreuse green. And if you want some I can make 'em!
I believe TN orange hasn’t s been working as good lately as in the pat.
Brad, I have a couple of Warren’s stick bugs he gave me when I came up in the fall, that he tied with a bead head.
Brad,
The original pattern calls for a beadhead. I do have several tied up with no bead and have them weighted with lead wraps as an underbody. I also have several tied up with a tungsten bead. The pattern, at least for me, seems to produce better when fished deep. The original pattern calls for a green floss body, brown hackle palmered, olive marabou tail with a couple strands of flash and 2 strands of peacock herl tied in behind the beadhead at the top and pulled down the top of the fly and end at the tip of the tail. This pattern has produced a lot of trout for me.
Warren
This fly has produced fish for anyone who has it and fishes with it. I am wondering how well it will produce in Burnt Orange also. Time will tell and this is why you learn to tie fly's. So you can change things with the fly and see if it will work for you in your area. Thank You Warren, liljoe, JackH, Healing Waters, and everyone on FAOL, for helping me learn more about fly tying.

It is just unusual for you to tie any fly with a bead head. If you are using beads, they must be the real thing.
newbee, I have fished with Warren. He has taken me to some of his most productive holes on the Duck and Elk rivers. One thing I learned pretty quick fishing with him…he can catch trout from a mud puddle…a VERY small mud puddle.

Brad,
I still remember our “little” wade trip together in Michigan to Keith’s cabin!!! Do you? : )
How could you forget that? I thought I was going to die and they would find my carcass wrapped in one of those trees we had to wade over!
Brad
LOL! I just knew I was going to hear banjo music around every bend! That was quite an adventure we should have started on a whole lot earlier in the day!
Yep…6 am would have been perfect!
Brad
Did the orange version of the guacamole stick bug work well?
Ed
Well when I used it, the fish did hit it, but not nearly as much as they do with the original version.
