In this video, Greg ties two patterns that produced lots of trout on Crane Prairie this last summer.
These flies were fished with great success this summer at Crane Prarie Reservoir under an indicator and Greg recommends tying them in appropriate sizes (usually smaller) for still-water fisheries throughout the United States along with colors tied in black/silver, black/white, and red/white.
Follow along as Greg explains his set-up and how to fish these productive lake flies.
