We are a group of fly tiers and fly fishers, mostly warm water, some trout anglers, who meet on Saturday mornings during the winter to tell tales, exchange ideas and tie flies.

"Sunny Chumb" fly
This is "SUNNY CHUMB"
---------------------------
Pattern List
Hook= Mustad 3366 size 8
Thread = Red
Eyes = Small Black Bead Chain
Tails = Fine Round Red Rubber
Underbody = Red Ultra Chenille
Rib = Red UV Micro Polar Chenille
Worked better earlier in the year than it is right now. But maybe that's because the fish where more concentrated earlier. I'm thinking about adding a soft hackle collar.
Fishing it with either a slow retrieve or a jerk-fall retrieve
(Chartruese is another great color but red is my favorite)
(I'm going to try the soft hackle collar. Hopefully yet this year. I think it might help here later in the year when the Sunnies aren't so aggresive)
