Late Oct. Flies

[greenteal]

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 ?

Thx, I'll try a black leech.

Agree with Tungsten - BRBs, woolly buggers, and all that. Might have some luck swinging intruders and clousers as well.

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.

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

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.

u got a pic of the fly neil?

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.
