"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)
