Chum Flies.......discuss

[Dave Sikorski]

While it's not a perfectly placed Elk Hair Caddis on a stream in the Galatin Range, and sure isn't a merkin plunked a few feet in front of a permit tailing on a flat in the Marquesas.

Chumming flat out works.

Just heard the story of this pig on a 9 wt.



44 lbs of BFT.

On a White Deciever.

I've caught Rock and blues in a chum slick on the same thing.

What has worked for you?

-D

Not quite the same but we chum up Groupers and AJs. Do better with the AJs with poppers and the groupers on sinking lines and 6 to10" 1/2 & 1/2s.

Heck...not looking for the same, just what has worked for you with different species.

An AJ has gotta be a blast on any weight rod.

How about that spade fish you posted a picture of a little while back??

Let's see some pics of the flies.

A couple of years ago I had a couple of heart surgens land 40 out of 48 on fly ranging from 18 to 50+ pounds.I never saw anything like it nor have I since. Both of them showed up the next morning @ 0630 rareing to go. Had to be some good drugs in there somewhere cause I felt it the next day.
Most of my guys are lucky to land 3 out of 10 on a good day!
Ok give me a couple of days to tie a couple of jelly fish flys for ya...I got another Blue Fin or 2 to catch tomorrow.

Do I want to see some Jellyfish flies?

Do fish farts bubble??

Give those Slobs HELL Capt. Lee!!

I'd like to hear more about them. (The Jellyfish flies, not the fart bubbles. LOL)
