A Fall Eel Fly

I know Bruce likes fishing Eels so I sat down today and tied him up one to fish with the long rod. I hope you will use it this fall and catch a big bass with it.





I tied a few up for myself also, So now all we need is a few fish to come in casting range.

They look killer Charlie!

They look great.
Is that the varivas hook again? Also, what thread do you use for your saltwater flies, Charlie?
I like the striper artwork in the background, is that your work, too?
I'm going to have to do myself a carved wooden bass, with that big mouth gaping & a hungry look! Haha.

Truly a work of art


That fly is tooo purty to fish!

charlie you tie some outragious stuff......yea ill throw that thing
thanks charlie.......but im on a job now that might put a damper on my fishin for a few weeks

Great work Charlie. Gets me looking into buying a fly outfit every time.

Jim you have a good eye. It's a Varivas 2600 ST-V. I wanted a heavy hook to take the fly down in the water column. No other reason. I would have used a Eagle Claw 253, that and a Gami S15 are my go to hooks.

As for thread I use Danville flat waxed nylon in 210 size.

I bought the print. I wish I could draw like that. I got it off Ebay years ago as a set. The artist had a set including the Striper, a Weakfish, and a Bluefish. I think when I got them they were around $12. a print. I couldn't pass that up and framed them and hung them together as a set.

Thanks for the info Charlie (& yeah, we all wish we could draw like that!).
