Calamari fly

This is one awesome fly pattern I got from TS Adventures. They gave me permission to use their pattern, and I couldn’t be happier. I expect this to catch lots of fish! This fly is also very durable, I fished it near some rocks and had it bouncing off them all day long. The fly stayed together very well. The way it swims is also quite natural, as it looks just like a squid. Short quick strips will give it the darting motion that squid do, then long strips also give just a regular swimming motion. This is one of my favorite flies for saltwater fish Ive seen in a long time.

Furled Tail Wooly Bugger

A great fly for bass! Wooly buggers have been used for so many species, pretty much all species have been caught on a bugger or a bugger variant. Here is a bugger variant that I believe will work great for bass and other warm water species. What I love about this, is that the tail moves freely, but the front section moves a lot of water due to the big "bugger" profile.

Sand crab fly

So I recently went out and fished the surf for surf perch. I looked up what flies are best to use for them and it seemed like sand flea (commonly called sand crabs or mole crabs) are their favorite food, so I tied this fly up for them and really liked it! I looked up common flies, and took a few different styles and merged them together to make my own. It came out looking just like the little creatures, and it’s really not too difficult to tie either.

Furled worm

This is an awesome fly, one that I got the idea from another video where they tied something similar. I was looking for a blood worm imitation that surf perch would like, and this seemed to do the trick. It’s fairly easy to tie, and that tail moves really nicely in the water!
