The winter’s been long, and now Brother Glista has emerged from his lab with more mad fly designs. This one needs a name.

The brain is useless. We must find another brain. Make your suggestions in the comments. Help him before he kills again!

Glista must consume his own body weight in Raid every nine hours.

This prop-frog was inspired by Jim Stewart’s Buzz Bug.

From Flies For Bass And Panfish, Stewart and Allen, 1992.

Designed to mimic popular wood or plastic suface bass plugs.  When retrieved with short strips the propeller spays water and causes a surface disturbance.

black bass bug

An excellent strike getter is an all black popper with yellow dots all over it…
Black has always brought me plenty of strikes and yet there are probably fewer professionally made poppers in black than in any other color.

March Brown, Poly Wing

#12 TMC 900BL, mallard flank, rusty/brown dubbing, brown polypro yarn.

I’ll stand on the bank and wait for it.  For a short time the march browns will come off in great numbers.  The duns will appear upright and whole, having transformed completely before they break the surface.  The current will quickly consolidate them upon the seams and eddy lines of the river.  Trains of mayflies drift downstream until they disappear up through the air or into the mouths of trouts.

When you’ve tried the #14 parachute Adams, maybe even sunk to the black and red Panther Martin, and…. well, you’ve likely spent the better part of the afternoon at the bar, we give you the Cowboy Rattlesnake Sculpin Orgy. It’s primarily an attractor.
