New fly

Post by kastmaster »

Snagged and lost it, but not before I fooled 3 green sunfish with it! Size 8 mosquito hook, thrift store bead, black shrink tubing, and wing feather material from a red-shafted flicker. Sinking fly. Used some floating twigs as casting weight & strike indicators 2 ft above the fly with my spinning rod. Fish all hit on the slow twitch retrieve.
