I dont know if you really want to tie this one since the marble trout only seemed to want to chase, not eat them, but I did catch some rainbows on it.  'Butt Monkey'   Butt: Marabou Tail: Rabbit Strip Body : Dubbing or chenille wrapped over .30 lead Legs: Rubber legs Head and collar: lambs wool spun over dumbbell eyes I hope you like it.  Also, please dont mind the pictures in the washroom. The light is best in there. And I swear that girly bath stuff is all my wifes!

Hi, the flies looks super and I see no reason why the marbles didnt like them (maybe cause slovene fishes dont like the origin of the patterns). Looks like marbles are more patriotic than it seems  .

Hey MikeL, great patterns and they should work for the marbles too. You should try them when the water is a little murky- I am sure they would work well!  And of course we don´t mind that you took photos of your streamers in the washroom , but make sure that you don´t leave them there- your wife could get scared like hell Thanks for your post and tight lines, Lucky |

Well guys I was kidding with that "patriotic" statement. The patters are really nice ones, but it is wery hard to catch a marble in cristal clear water with streamer. I think that Urni Sulec was right when he stated that water lewel of the river is perfect for catching marbles when water is tree times higher and murky one. PS: Maybe streamers are a litte too light

I think that Urni Sulec was right when he stated that water lewel of the river is perfect for catching marbles when water is tree times higher and murky one. This is very true. The last day I was fishing, I rigged up a wooly bugger under a float and fished it like a nymph. I briefly had a very nice fish on the line, but it came unbuttoned. fishman wrote ... PS: Maybe streamers are a litte too light I was fishing streamers on a 350grain, type 8 shooting head and wasn't having any difficulties finding bottom. I think those fish were just too smart for me. Next year will be my year! |

Hay! Just my personal think...sometimes i used a streamer call "snowwhite".Marbles don't like it...but the rainbows..so..try everything you have in your pockets...:whis  [ Edited Wednesday 08 October 2008 - 15:41:33 ] |

Dede, That is a nice little fly. I imagine you could get some interest from the marbles were it a different color, no? Here is another American pattern that I tied for the trip but did not fish. It has quite an erratic, darting action when stripped and has done well for me over here. Unfortunately, I did not give it much of a chance in your country. It needs to be fished on a sinking line to be effective.  |
