    What was your technique for working fly through water?

  • @poems35
    @poems35 9 หลายเดือนก่อน

    If you are new to tying or lazy like me you can do a simple version that has worked very well. It is a leech pattern that doubles as a minnow. I used a weighted jig hook, black marabou tail, and black ice dub or Simi seal dubbing. You might find Simi seal labeled as MFC - ARIZONA SIMI SEAL. That's it. Really works!

    • @OpportunityFishing
      @OpportunityFishing 9 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I love simi seal. I use it a lot for leech patterns similar to what you describe, and they catch fish! This pattern I find to be slightly more realistic to a minnow, but that may just be convincing the fisherman more than the fish.

  • @richardson_adventures
    @richardson_adventures 9 หลายเดือนก่อน

    This is really cool! Watched a few of your videos now and encouraged to try this in Texas. What do you look for when it comes to bodies of water and areas to fish?

    • @OpportunityFishing
      @OpportunityFishing 9 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Honestly I just fish wherever I can whenever I can. I have three little kids who keep me very busy so most my fishing is within a ten mile radius of my house. Have been lucky enough to find local gems just by exploring. If I could choose a specific body of water, the number one thing I would look for is structure.

    Nice! I’ve been tying a nearly identical pattern for trout also based on the baby fat minnow. Gold bead, Micro barred marabou, pink pearl and minnow belly ice dub, and Simi seal for the back/belly make an incredible micro parr pattern. I’ve played with bruiser blend also, but I like the way Simi seal holds its shape a bit better for the balanced version. I use the gel super glue to set the eyes, and solorez thick resin for the head. Setting those eyes with superglue first really helps

    Not trying to be disrespectful at all, just curious, is that considered a big bass where you are fishing? In Ohio that is ab average if not somewhat small is why I ask.

    • @OpportunityFishing
      @OpportunityFishing ปีที่แล้ว

      Not disrespectful at all! Yes in Colorado this is considered big. We grow large trout here, but Largemouth over 3lb are rare. Smallmouth seem to fair better than largemouth in Colorado water though. We have some lakes with impressive Smallies.

      That makes sense since it's the batteries that get so damn hot! Will keep it in mind for next year. Thankfully it's starting to cool down a bit and before we know it it's going to be fall fishing season! Narrowing down dates for the potential golden trout hike brother. Will hit you up soon!
