For the hard to fish pellet spinner fall

[quillfly]

Any of you guys tie a pellet fly . i know they fall somewhere into the cheese fly classification but im tired of fishing when the fish are keyed in on a pellet hatch. Im thinking some type of spun clipped deerhair should work rather well any other suggestions.

wine bottle cork - whittled into a ball and dyed with magic marker.
If you wanna go the easy route, I think you can buy cork balls

This pattern works great as a caddis pellet fly.

A walt's worm doesn't imitate a pellet. It's a crane fly larvae.

For those who don't want to think a WW is a pellet fly. Try this one

The vast majority of crane flies you see milling around a stream are not aquatic.

The bottom one is one of the most realistic crane fly larva ties I've ever seen.

How is that tied and what hook is that?

Its regular old coffee chenille wrapped on a hook. Pick a hook any wide gap hook will do.

I saw this one and it makes a lot of sense. When do they throw just on pellet .

 

[SBecker]

Ha ha, but how is it tied? materials list please.

i could see doing that with spun deer hair (which i really like the look of) and then the the same on some thick mono and tied in
