Sometimes less is more. I really like a sparse small popper. Big enough for the smallies and a good fit for larger panfish.

Tying Flies with Jack Dennis and Friends

 

[Fly-Swatter]

barrybarry: I agree!

I love Gurglers tied on a #6 or #8 short shank, wide gape hook with a little UV minnow belly in a dubbing loop on the shank, white marabou or bucktail tail. It's an easy 3-5 minute tie (I'm slow) and effective on many species.

I've had days where this is all I fish on rivers and lakes, catching bass, panfish, and pickerel. Killer!

Nfrench,

I seriously doubt your flies will actually catch fish. Any trout would stop and look in wonder as to who could create a "perfect" bug like that!!

Cheers

They'll catch a lot of fishermen though!

First time tying bigger saltwater flies. Here's a bunch of Clousers!

Olive or black over orange kills them in N.C. I also find the salters like them a little more sparsely tied. Nice ties.
