for sunfish...


my go to sunfish pattern. I love sunfish, there is no lie. They are easy to find, easy to catch and they fight stubborn. Catch a sunfish on a 3wt figerglass rod is a great way to spend hot summer afternoon. This is my first choice sunfish pattern- olive wooly buggers, some similar variates (crayfish imitation) are also good for bass. I like to tie in long traditional rooster hackles. This special hackle was from my friends' chicken farm - Americana spp.

I love colors of those flies-they would be great for around here.

Thanks Vlad,

They mainly imitate rusty crayfish which is the main food source to sunfish and bass.
