We’ve added nine new flies for smallmouth bass and two for carp. Several of these I designed at the request of our guides, but most of these patterns I designed after a great deal of experimenting by my son, Jeff and I. We’ve been fishing and redesigning some of these for over five years with a goal of consistently catching large smallmouth bass under a broad variety of stream conditions. Over the next several weeks I’ll discuss these on our blog.
Murray’s Magnum Hog Sucker (size 4) $2.95
Last summer when a huge smallmouth bass chased an eight inch long hog sucker up on a gravel bar and then ate him when he flopped back into the river, all within 30 feet of me, I decided to develop a streamer to match the hog sucker. Fish these along the gravel bars and in the pockets below the riffles.
