marcvansluys Posted January 25, 2011 Posted January 25, 2011 I was just wondering if anyone has tried a fly called the Zoo Cougar (http://www.slideinn.com/store/product_info.php?products_id=35) in any Alberta waters, especially the Bow. It seems like a pretty neat sculpin imitation. Also, it is supposed to be fished with zero weight (other than a sinking line). Sounds interesting to me. Doesn't seem too difficult to tie either. Any thoughts... Quote

Any thoughts... all of galloup's creations are kickass in our waters for some reason...the zoo cougar is a great little pattern when used with a sink tip for all streams/lakes around here...dynamite dead drifted with a swing at the end on lower oldman so i would assume the same goes for the bow...

SilverDoctor Posted January 25, 2011 Posted January 25, 2011 Decent on the bow at certain times of year although I tie them a bit darker than the Galloup version. Some people find them a bit tricky to tie, notability the head and nice and straight mallard flank feathers can be hard to find. Quote
marcvansluys Posted January 25, 2011 Author Posted January 25, 2011 Ya, I figured this fly would work on the Bow and lower Oldman. I might have to try tying a few, although I'm not very good at spinning hair... Thanks guys Quote
