crease flies

Post by bk »

while confined to the warmth of the house, i decided to try some small crease flies for bream and bass.

#8 2xlong hook.
2-3mm sheet foam
marabou tail with peacock herl on 4 of em.
various color markers and colored nail polish
epoxy.

basically, i wrap some thread from front to back. tie in the tail material. leave the thread at the back. then i cut the sheet foam to shape. fold it over the hook and hit the seem with super glue. instead of leaving the foam loose and straight at the back like a typical crease fly, i use the thread that's still tied on at the back, and capture the foam and work the thread up the body a little bit. This helps keep the ass end of the fly down. Then i marker / color to taste, then hit it with the "5 minute mess".

Actually, kind of fun to tie / create these and they are quite effective for bream and bass when their feeding near the topwater.

Nice looking Popper's, although I doubt everybody would consider those as "small". I have avoided the epoxy as long as possible but I think my next couple of pattern may move me towards the sticky stuff.

Those little guys are cute as heck. Love 'em!
Me thinks you should name them and make a little FCKA Crease Fly comic strip. :20
