So my buddy that is a fly fishing guide in Apalach liked the Menhaden (pogy) pattern I thought up and asked me to whip him up some for when the tarpon bite slows and he gets desperate. What do you guys think.

Empty your mind, be formless. Shapeless, like water. If you put water into a cup, it becomes the cup. You put water into a bottle and it becomes the bottle. Now, water can flow or it can crash. Be water my friend. -Bruce Lee

Re: First Order
Pretty tie.
As with most patterns you'll probably need to make some adjustments after checking out its action in the water. Looks great dry tho. Can't wait to see what it catches.

Re: First Order
I went to ST I state park today and threw the pinfish version of this. It swam great and if it wasn't blowing 10 right in my face, I may have caught something. Maybe tomorrow

Re: First Order
Your probably right but since I am just learning to cast. A 10 in the face = hook in the ear.

Re: First Order
if you cast right handed, resist the temptation to cast when the wind is at your right.

Re: First Order
I did. Well did a kinda backhand cross the body cast. Got pretty good at it. Went out this morning and was wade fishing by the boy Scout ramp and about stepped on a monster black drum. He was not feeling my lure but should have just noodled him.
