My Favorite Fly

Post by Steve51 » Sat Jul 28, 2018 4:24 pm

I am not an expert fly tyer or expert at fishing but I enjoy doing both.

A few years ago I was browsing the internet and stumbled upon this fly. It is called Jon's Generic.

http://www.oregonlink.com/flyfishing/generic/index.html

I am an avid seeker of panfish and I catch most of them on this fly. The hook rides up when fishing it so it does not snag easily and most fish are hooked in the upper lip. I personally have caught bluegill, redear, bass, catfish, freshwater drum, and trout on this fly. I always use a #12 hook as described. Sometimes I use red fingernail polish instead of clear for the head cement.

Just thought I would share my favorite fly with you all.

Haven't fly fished in years.

That is a good fly. My son and I use one similar tied from white feather with some flash. It produces well in warm water streams and ponds we fish in. You can add a bit of weight and fish it deep or not for shallow presintations.
