I tied up some more minnows. I tied a couple panfish floating minnows and a couple epoxies minnows. Panfish Floating Minnow  Epoxy Minnow  Bass on Epoxy Minnow  I think I need a shorter tail on the epoxy minnows but they still fish and catch. I may also substitute the bucktail for super hair. |

That's great!! Those minnows look great! How did you tie those minnows? On the epoxy minnows, what kind of epoxy would you use? That's a really nice bass you caught on that fly. Also, how would you fish that on a six weight?  |

I used clear cure goo instead of epoxy. I tied these like a surf candy and I fish these on my 4wt.

hey prybis
what's the underbody of the little white ones made from? Would like to see a tutorial on that one. I tie the Schenks streamer for smallies out of a white rabbit fur dubbing brush. Had a lot of success with it on the tippy this year. But it's a bit difficult to tie and quite messy!

The white ones with the quarters have calf tail for the underbody and tail with foam spider bodies for the head and stick on eyes.

I tied something similar a few years back with good success using buck tail on a jig hook (tying the buck tail forward then folding it back on the jig hook formed the head) and epoxy head. Later I changed to Tuffleye just for quickness but found the epoxy to sink better. Lead can be added or a leaded jig, fished slowly in spring works well. Nice fly Prybis.
