Bass will eat the crap out of all that stuff. Try some topwater before you go for streamers though. Only fish those DB eyes if you have to…
Clouser half and half is arguably the best and most versatile fly around.

Nice looking batch. How do you like the sixth finger scissors? I am a fan.

Wendy, the clousers I tied used standard bucktail for the white top half of the body but my stash of bucktail is limited so I opted for some of the bear fur you handed this way a while ago. I would say it works well as a substitute. Glad you had a good time in OR.
John, I am a fan of the sixth finger. It’s taken a bit of time to get used to them and how they cut different materials. I reach for the sixth finger first ove my other scissors as of right now. I heard the invite to visit OR and those carp of yours from Wendy. If it’s something we can plan count me in. Looks like a damn good time.

Talk to Wendy re: OR trip 2011. I can take time off whenever to make it work. Big fish best time = spring…best weather (meaning most pure sun) = late june/july. May can be scary good for big fish, or a total bust due to no light. In general though, i can put us on fish. I think you’d enjoy it…i’ve got gear (7, 8 wt rods, etc.)
