Find a copy of Stripers and Streamers by Ray Bondorew. Great fly book, you'll learn a lot I'm sure.

just picked up a used copy on amazon, i figured while i was there i would pick up stripers on the fly also. Thanks dan

Jay

striper/bonito candy are always favorites

yellow over white clouser (sparse & short)

My favorite spring pattern for Narr Bay. :tm:

Worm Fly
 

Don't forget to have a few cinder worms for those mid May to June full moon nights if you have access to fishing salt ponds

the house im moving to down on the cape is right next to follins pond, i believe that it is a brackish pond.

Jay:uhuh:

That it is.Keep your windows open at night and listen to the splashes:heybaby:

In the mail
 

Jay I dropped a cinder worm pattern in the mail for you to look at, I also tie a surface one....good luck, cb :soon:

thanks cb, looking forward to checking it out

Jay

how is the cinder worm pattern acomplished?

Cinder
 

Here is one of maybe 5 patterns I have seen.. I use rabbit dyed red, red orange or light pink & Cork or some type of float material and then a blunt almost a guggler look to push, it needs to have erratic "swim". When you use rabbit the profile when wet is about 70% less, I have found color can matter when it is light out, at night it's all about swim action and profile. Last year I even made a "Jointed fly", and that swam erratic. I will try and throw up a few more cinder patter if I can find them. cb

2 more patterns
 

one is a deer hair head and the other is an experiment with a different hook. cb

Ok, i see the pics but i dont understand how to tie them

Chuck,

got the cinderworm, looks awesome. I talked to my brother in law and he's going to try to tie some up

Thanks again

Jay
