I hop...Rj, I am glad to see that you read the blog. I hope all is going well with the Boys and Girls Club. I have thrown small gurglers at the lights and had the snook pop them off the surface. It is not quite the same as drifting a fly through the lights but same topwater result. Stay in touch and keep reading there will be more very day or so.<BR/>JohnStuartFlyfishinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10033527305796904356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3431535356858292896.post-79747069463304646312008-12-19T10:59:00.000-05:002008-12-19T10:59:00.000-05:00John, This is a great looking fly that I would lov...John, This is a great looking fly that I would love to throw at a bonefish! It made me think of something that I have been wondering for a while though. <BR/><BR/>One of my favorite things about fresh water flyfishing is getting a trout to eat a dry fly. Last night I was out throwing some small flys at snook under the lights and again I thought "the way these fish explode to the surface on little shrimps and other goodies, why wouldn't they hit a dry fly in a nice moving current under the light? (the docks around Sewall's Point immediatley come to mind!) <BR/><BR/>Anyway, I am not good at tying at all. I can make a clouser and a crazy charlie and that's about it! Does anyone have any ideas on how to make a dry fly that could float in the current and get nailed by a snook under the light? I thought maybe a little piece of styrofoam or something with some little rubber band legs or something. <BR/><BR/>Anyway, just a thought. What do you guys think? Would a snook hit a dry fly? If anyone wants to take a shot at making one, I would be more than happy to be on the field testing team! <BR/>RJAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
