The leaves are changing and the temps are dropping which means winter is right around the corner. This is the time of year when the big fish come out to play and we have a handful of patterns that are sure to get the job done for you this fall. So break out the puffy coat and sharpen your scissors because this is going to be one to remember! Streamers: Browns are pre spawn and extra aggressive and the rainbows and cutties are trying to plump up for the cold months ahead. So here are a few of our favorites to chuck. Hollow Perch, Turbo Leech, SRF Bugger. Hollow Perch: Perch minnows make up a huge portion of the food...
Perch are the french fires of our river system and just like us, the fish can resist em. The hollow style of tying in the krinklezon and using the hydro hackle as a body fill allows you to get a big profile without the bulk and weight that comes with other patterns. The biggest pro to the hollow tie is has less resistance and drop like a rock.
Material List: Hook: Moonlit #2 streamer hook Eyes: MD lead eyes Tail: Chartreuse Krinklezon Body: Atomic Cutty Hydro Hackle Wing: Forest Blaze Krinklezon
