I'm STILL enjoying trying to find some good & easy shad/baitfish-imitating fly patterns I can use for White Bass & Wipers.
Here's some stuff I've tied in the past week or so:
In the photo below, the top fly is a Silver Baitfish, and the bottom fly is a Bowen's Baitfish.
And in the photo below....the the top fly is very similar to a number of craft fur baitfish flies, but not exactly like any of them...so I can't give an exact name for it. The head was created by putting the craft fur in a dubbing loop, however. The middle fly is my attempt at Casey Smartt's Glass Minnow. And the bottom fly is also not named. Congo Hair tail, craft fur body/head covered with a few wraps of Wapsi Palmer Chenille.
Overall lengths of these are generally 2.5" - 3". I hope the fish love 'em! :)
