i've been tying some attractor nymph flies for Dallas. the fish are going to be deep, extremely picky, and my only thought is to use an attractor pattern on a dropper rig. i'm thinking either nymph-nymph, popper-nymph, nymph-streamer, or streamer-nymph combinations. anybody have any thoughts on the best combos for winter pond and tailwater fishing in Texas?
my only guidance on what works down there is from reading posts on PondBass and Blue Gill on the Fly. it seems like the electric blue north fork nymph works well, so my Blue Steel Nymph was an attempt to get the same coloring. it took me a couple hours to get that color, and it still isn't right.
it seems that every fly out there is a variation of a classic pattern, just with a twist on a new material, and then given a new name. so why not join the fun?
i've also started to make some poppers out of wine corks so i can use them as part of a popper-dropper rig. using this link, i turned my Dremel into a mandrel and started shaping some popper heads. i'll post some pics as soon as they're finished and painted.
