Shimmer Minnow

No comments yet

In this video we have had the skilled US based flyfisher, flytyer and guide Brian Schumaker to tie one of his all-time favorite flies for his beloved smallmouth bass fishing. Brian says about the fly:
"The Shimmering Minnow is a pattern that I developed in 2012 to catch smallmouth bass. I was looking for something that was quick to tie and that could easily match the bait fish that I would find in the rivers that I fished. I also wanted something that I could fish in the middle water column. I started out using a single hook and it worked well and caught fish, but I still wasn’t satisfied. I started playing around with shanks trying to add articulation to the fly and it really improved the pattern and its effectivity. The Shimmering Minnow was catching a lot of fish and I was happy and so were my clients. I was tying at a show one winter and stumbled upon a molded fish-shaped head and I decided to try it on the Shimmering Minnow. It was the last piece that really made the fly look complete."

Since you got this far …


The GFF money box

… I have a small favor to ask.

Long story short

Support the Global FlyFisher through several different channels, including PayPal.

Long story longer

The Global FlyFisher has been online since the mid-90's and has been free to access for everybody since day one – and will stay free for as long as I run it.
But that doesn't mean that it's free to run.
It costs money to drive a large site like this.
