Donh Posted May 26, 2017 Report Share Posted May 26, 2017 Reds on the Lagoon today. Really crowded with the holiday weekend, but plenty of reds for everyone. This little crab pattern pays off again. dh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LenC Posted May 29, 2017 Report Share Posted May 29, 2017 Nice fly, Don! Is your tan dubbing a brush of some kind (with rubber legs in it)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donh Posted May 29, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 29, 2017 The body is deer hair, the collar is EP Brush 1/2 inch, couple of hackles for claws and EP crab/shrimp eyes. Sometimes a touch of EP fiber in orange for egg sack. This always seems to work on the slot reds. For the bigger ones need a larger profile, i.e. bait fish. At least never hooked a bull red on this pattern. Saw something this time never seen before. The schools were rolling kinda' , flashing their white bellies. Don't know why but it sure helped us find them. dh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wayne Posted June 6, 2017 Report Share Posted June 6, 2017 Nice red.. I really like the fly also!! Is the water up there clear now or is there still a bunch of algae around? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donh Posted June 7, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2017 Water is in pretty good shape. Wind will stir it up once in a while. No bloom. dh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
