Thread: Received some ties from Skip yesterday

These are what he calls Bream Killers. I like them a lot. The ones with the yellow and brown legs reminds me of the banana spiders I see in the Fall. Excellent work once again my friend. Thanks!



I am not going to put them in the tackle box for a while because I just want to look at them

Man I even caught a shad on one. He was about 6" long and I was so surprised to catch that on my fly fishing outfit. The Gills love these!!!

Oh and they even look better in the water.

Those are nice Skip. I love fishing a bug in Summer.

Thanks Gene, I have been wanting to tie a Hard Body Ant for a good while and finally got it down. Here is a pic of that. Randy what do you think of this one?

That's a purty bait Skip. What size hook? I like the #12. It catches all sizes.

I used to use Mr. Accardo's popping bugs with a bream killer tied a 8-10" behind it. He would tie them with a little guinea feather so it would have a slow fall. Probably still have a card or two in the file cabinet.

I think if I was a fish I would inhale that one.....

That is killer.

Thanks fishervet, I do appreciate that!

That is a #10, but have been thinking of tying some on a Wide Gape fly hook on a #12. Heck you wouldn't believe how small of a bream I have caught on a #8 curved hook that is not short either, on the Bream Killer Fly. I wouldn't have though one that small could eat it, be he did, LOL!

They call that a Popper Dropper when you drop a Bream Killer off behind a popper bug. That will work for sure!

Very nice Skip! I like those a lot, the Bream would inhale those for sure - I want some to look at please.
