Warm-water fishing season is right around the corner, so for the first time in 3 years I have updated the catalog of big predator flies on my shop champlainflyworks.com. There are some new flies! Including the ones I have been throwing about half the time lately, the “Houdini Glider”, a bulkhead variant of my own design that is alllllllllmost snag less and weedless. I have pulled these out of brush piles that would frustrate an otter, and gotten eats and follows that no other fly would enable.
I’ve already gotten one order, from a new customer who REALLY wants to chase giants…these 3 mega-changers (a Blane Chocklett design, which I tie with his kind permission) are all between 10-12 inches long and weigh about 11 grams each. A burly 11 or 12 weight fly rod is recommended!
