{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: Beer Tie next Monday, November 13 at Whitlow's on Wilson

I developed the bacon fly after years of fishing the Little J, Yellow Breeches, and a few trips to Colorado. A simple pattern with no overly complicated steps or ingredients. This is not a modern streamer. The fly is heavy and should not be tossed with anything under a 5wt.  The fly should be fished with a loop knot. It should be eratticly stripped. I suggest a dropper fly behind. You can strip the baccon fly then dead drift it. I have caught several big trout on a tungsten hares ear behind. I use 8lb Berkley Vanish as my tippet for this pattern with 3bb split shot above the knot.

I would appreciate if a TPFR member would teach the non slip mono knot tonight. I will bring monofilament.

This is the only streamer I fish for (non steelhead) trout.

Ingredients can be found in any well stocked fly shop. The 'hackle' is from Ebay. Search '10" black rooster tail iridescent' which are basically feather duster and craft feathers.

Hope for a good turnout tonight.

November's Beer Tie is coming up next Monday, November 13, and is held at Whitlow's on Wilson in the Sandbar from 6PM-10PM. The event is very casual and attendees are encouraged to come and go as they please. As usual, burgers are half-priced and we'll have a beer special.

Rob Snowhite will be teaching the Snowhite Bacon Fly (Harry Murray much, Rob?), which is a good streamer for trout.

Look forward to seeing everyone on Monday!
