Counting was never my strong suit

Thank you

I tired to get the fly but it was in a thought to get to spot and being by myself I’d rather lose the fly so the fish can recover faster. The fly will rust out quickly and that fish will be good to go.

Mullet run is tough for fly guys. It’s more a game of luck when throwing into those massive schools. Not my favorite time of the year to fish tarpon.

#2 is the perfect size in my opinion

@@cwflies Thanks....

Thank you.

This is a 10wt crowder with a nautilus ccf silver king. Probably should have had the 12wt with me but I didn’t want to change out the line

Yes east coast. Used a yak minnow. You can find them on my site CW-flies.com

@@cwflies thank you, saw the fly , l

Thank you

Berries usually start to drop in March and end in early May.

This is down around Ft. Lauderdale

Yes it should work if it’s a canal they are feeding on shrimp in. Hard for me to throw anything other than topwaters to juvi tarpon.

@@cwflies so you recommend popper flies for the juvies?

Check out my gurgler or popping shrimp. Those are my go to flies for juvi tarpon.

It is a very thin wire for the core. You can easily make your own using fish hair and daddy long legs.

Thank you

Thank you

Thank you

Yes some style as a peanut butter but all natural hair so it will have more movement, durability, and you won’t need to comb it out.

Thank you

Thank you

I use the large when tying these in #2 which is what is in the video but if I go down to #4 or #6 I’ll move to mediums

Nice. Wish I was back in Belize. Should a good fishery

Sure would. Adjust the weight as needed for depth and add a weedguard if fishing over grass and you’ll be good to go

Always looking for feedback. What don’t you like about the brush? What would you replace it with?

5wt rod and reel but any size will do up to 9wt. The fly here is a special berry fly I make but if you don’t have them feeding under berry trees a black or white Woolley bigger in their beds while spawning or a green weenie anytime will get a bite

Snook or jack. Not many redfish back in that area.

Classic tarpon flies are normally tied with exposed shank so the fly could be tied with a snell knot. With smaller diameter leaders now most people no longer snell the hook and go with other knots like a loop knot for movement.

@@cwflies Thank you! I wondered why some leave the hook bare, some wrap them.

Just my take…I thread wrap that bare area these days with a bright color thread because it helps me maintain a visual on the fly.

If only it went that quickly in real time

@@cwflies yup… but anything that’s worth the effort is also worth the time to put it there.

Some people can make it work but I found it to be too messy for me. Think fish masks save time, and are durable.

Yeah I like it done well good camera it was worth the price of admission negative people don't help newbies through it's not worthwhile and drop out

Thanks for watching!

The hook is a gamakatsu C14 glow bug hook in #2 for strength, wide gap, and darker color. Materials is a pompano float I glue to the hook the color red and coat with gorilla glue. It normally just works under the berry trees but evenly once in a while a free swimmer in the open will come take a look at it.

Very cool man! Thanks.

I’ve been targeting them when I can in the Fort Lauderdale area, definitely my favorite species, though mirror carp fight a bit better I think😅 What area are you in?

@@darrenrodgers6425 I'm in Stuart but i fish in cooper city area. Mirror carp for sure fight better. Grass carp are very strong but can just feel like reeling in weight at times. Gotta love that topwater eat from them. Always a fun fish to target before searching for peacocks.

I do not. I have a dubbing brush table I got online but I forgot the name of the site. I’m not great at making my own brushes but if you are they can really save some money with recent price increases

@@cwflies Thanks a lot.

Ya it was all in frame but noticed that RUclips cuts the frame down for shorts

@@cwflies ahh gotcha damn sorry about that

Agreed. They can’t resist a black wooly bugger in their beds

@@cwflies I make a modified berry fly for the beds, really just use creeper chenille and medium Bead chain eyes on a size 4 hook. The legs from the chenille give such good micro movement the tilapia can't stand it

Yes. Tilapia, carp, and Oscar will all sit under the trees in the spring as the berries fall and get fat and happy. Very underrated fishery. Most only want the peacocks

Will they take a nymph or a damsel fly?

Thank you
