Ebay Listings Ending Tonight

Some craft fur baitfish colors. I try to match my favorite crank bait colors when I tie these. If you have one you like send me a photo. I'm always looking for inspiration.

The flies that end tonight include several articulated streamers including a couple sex dungeons and my own streamer fly "The Buttkicker." Galloup likes big heads on his streamers so mine stay big.

 Finally there are two lots of saltwater flies with one tailored to the flats specifically.

Apologies for the late post about the Ebay listings that went up last week.  They end tomorrow.

Bendback flies are in both my saltwater and freshwater boxes. They are a great weedless fly and ideal for dealing with grassy conditions on the flats or in the rivers. I generally keep them in my favorite clouser colors (chartreuse/white, Pink/white, etc).

I keep my bass streamers in a wide range of sizes. On the large end are flies with lots of marabou and a large profile to move vigorously in the water. In the mid range would be fox fur baitfish patterns with a thin, but long profiles. Finally, I keep several different types of small zonker style flies. I use both rabbit and squirrel zonkers. However, I am particularly fond of squirrel for micro streamers for flies int he size 10 and 12 range.

This week's listings include some classics. As I am sure most  readers will know the Clouser minnow. Keep it as a staple of their arsenal. I learned early on to tie mine on salt water hooks so they will always fish no matter what water I am fishing. These are some of my favorite colors.

 Additionally, there are several varieties of bass and sun fish flies included as I have been prepping my own boxes for the spring fishing to take off.  I fish two categories of bass and sunfish flies. The first is a series of small insect/frog style patterns and the second group includes suspending and bottom dredging streamers. The sizes vary but I usually don't throw many things over a size 2.

Don't underestimate the big fish catching power of small flies. A size 12 ant can take on a very big bass. River bass will always continue to feed on some stuff that falls into the river from shore. Take advantage of that fact.

 I have also added a buy it now option for some of my Dirt Cheap Divers. These were designed to avoid the efforts needed to produce deer hair divers and make a fly cheap enough to leave in a tree if you hang up trying to make the necessary casts under over hanging branches. These do a great job of that diving ker-plunk that has made Dahlberg Divers so effective.  Try them with a sink tip or sinking leader they are even more versatile.

This week's listing are heavy on the baitfish patterns with some top water thrown in the mix.

Some of the notable flies in the batches this week:

The black and purple EP Fiber baitifish is a local staple of night fishing and particularly well suited to the jetties at night. Tied on a 2/0 B10S (2X heavy).

The micro poppers are a personal favorite for any freshwater in Texas. The small size ensures that sunfish that slam this fly actually hook up. Most popper miss many fish because they are too wide bodied. Don't be fool by the small size these popper can land big fish and 50 fish days are common without changing the fly.

Weedless baitfish patterns tied on worm hooks have been popular locally to suspend around weed beds. 

Mirco streamers have fished well for me all winter. These size 8 streamers are based on classic squirrel wing streamer patterns with a few modern updates such as 3D eyes. They are hard to beat when mimicking small baitfish.
