Another snowy cold early October morning. Burr! Did you get your snow tires on yet? I guess it is the law to have snow tires on if you travel in BC after October 1st.
I have been asked about how to tie the Candy Corn Fly designed by Dave Green and my version of Bob Morenski's Ice Minnow which I like to tie as a Balanced Ruby-Eyed Ice Minnow. Of course these are my version of the originals although the concept and original design comes from Dave and Bob respectively!
I have used both flies for trout and walleye. Great flies. I do believe that both flies have a trigger. In the case of the Candy Corn, the fire orange Ice Dub and for the Ice Minnow, the ruby eye!
I have been using the Pro Tyer jig hooks, tungsten beads and brill that you can order from The Canadian Llama Company.
Give them a try!
