greenteal Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 I hoping to practice my spey casting this coming week end, Oct 31. Does anyone have any suggestions as to a fly pattern that just might catch a fish this late in the season ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

headscan Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 Agree with Tungsten - BRBs, woolly buggers, and all that. Might have some luck swinging intruders and clousers as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agbff Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 Last few times ive been ooooot, its all about a small maroon leech on the dead drift and the swing and a few on a black sculpin pattern. I think the key right now is the slowest swing possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxwell Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 like others mentioned leeches mutli colored sculpin patterns n clousers will be your best bet.. my best patterns the last few weks on the swing have black n purple spey popcicles, white buggers and tri color bow bugger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil Waugh Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 For Atha-B winter bullies I usually swing Barry White's Marlyn Monroe. No reason why it shouldn't work on the Bow too because it basically imitates a rocky. . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neil Waugh Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 Just a variation on the universal theme of Woolly Bugger. Barry ties his with a black marabou tail instead of gray. The collar of ginger hen hackle is mine too just because I bought a neck from a bargain bin a while back and I figured I better make some use of it. The red tying thread is a nice touch. Maybe gills. maybe a cuttie slash. The sparkle chenille and the grizzly saddle hackle being the key. Not to mention lots of NP lead and a tung cone head.
