Polar Minnow Tying Video

Dave Sikorski · 03-26-2007, 10:56 PM

Here's a new one. I thought the music was a nice touch, but not too sure anymore. Oh well.

The polar minnow is a great fly to have in the box. It's tied with synthetics that flow great in the water.

OneMoreCast taught me this tie, so the credit has to go to him. I only put the video together.

Enjoy.

What do you want to see in the future?

Sweet Dave. What would you catch with that critter?

Dave Sikorski · 03-26-2007, 11:09 PM

Anything that eats bait fish!!!

It's basically a peanut bunker. Stripers, blues, Weakies, mahis.

I'd be suprised if there's much out there that wouldn't eat it. The circle hook changes the strip strike. You just hold the line in your hand as the fish turns and pull gently to set the hook.

wow!

i think that fly will end up in my box this year!

i think it would be great if some one did a video on snake flies!

Dave, Nice job with the video. It should make it easy for anyone to make some of those for the season. I have some of that material around. Sort of out of sight out of mind. May have to get some of it out and make a few. Again, nice job.

Hey bro,
I think it looks great ..music was a nice touch.
This is a great fly for our area. Very durable, easy to tie, and a good imitation... it is also hard to snag. It isn't "snagproof" but it will avoid them better than most

Great job buddy

Dave, Great tie and video. This fly fishing section just keeps getting better! Its so much better when you get to see it made. Sorry Wave...Dave will have to write it down for you with his eyes closed. Big smile

Looks like it would make a killer mangrove fly for snook and poons.
