Re: [VFB] Tarpon flies for Bass...

Dean Thanks.  I'll give this a try.  My husband loves the bass pond.  It has easy access to our house and our two little boys can fish there with him.  I like to kayak through there and watch the wildlife.

I have used Lefty's "Cockroach" tarpon fly for Bass with good results. Any of the "Keys Tarpon Flies" should work. Any in Brown,Black,Olive,Yellow,Purple or Orange should be good choices to try. Look for the ones that have the Splayed Tail hackles as these will open & close on the slow retrieve and should "wake Up"the Bass. Tye them on #2/0 to #6, as opposed to the Tarpon sizes up to #5/0.. Tye them with Mason Hard Mono weed Guards so you can pull them thru the weeds & structure that LargeMouth like soo much.. Have fun with it....          DEAN...  Deborah Duran <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Chuck I really like the looks of the tarpon flies. I was going to see if they would work on large mouth bass? What do you think? Your right about the tapes. I have a few I like. Most of mine are East Coast tiers. I think the flies would probably still work. It does look like we chase some different fish and we do a lot of surf fishing and rocks. Unless you have access to a boat. We do have salt marshes but they aren't the same from what I can tell. Haven't noticed any Oscars... Or big green lizards. I take that back... They found a Cayman a couple months ago. Sneaking suspicion it came from that pet shop. Deb Do you Yahoo!? Y!
