Kokanee Trolling Flies

Post by Ian Horning » Wed May 25, 2016 1:03 pm

I just thought I'd post a picture of a Kokanee Fly I've came up with. I haven't tried it yet but I tried to maximize it's potential in every way I could.

Here it is: 1, under a UV light. 2, Dark w/ Glow properties. 3, Dark w/ UV.

Properties/Features:
-100% UV Materials
-Glow hook on the bottom and glow tentacles
-100% Scentable: No materials will become bogged down and no action when soaked in scent
-Scent Retention: UV Yarn puff on the inside hook holds scent longer than most materials
-Rubber legs give off plenty of attraction and movement
-Will add a bead/smile blade up front
-Tube fly design

It looks like a squid or shrimp! Just thought this would be a cool tie that y'all could use!

Give it to 'em.

I'd eat it lol, but I'm curious as to what makes that a fly? Looks like a hochie to me from the pictures.

Looks a bit like an Ace HI fly with some extras. Kudos Ian, for doing it, it's a little one for sure and you tied it is the most important part!!!

Nice! What makes it a fly is that he tied them himself. Hoochies are factory made plastic squids and I don't see any of those in his pic. They do look a lot like ace hi flys jrs which I use a lot for Kokanee and work great. Let us know how they work we are all anticipating results lol!

Ya gotta love all those synthetic materials available to us now.
Glow, UV, Mirror, [thumbup]
Nice to make a lure/fly and have it work.
It has been a hobby for me, and
taught me that certain lakes
prefer different colors. [wink]
Glow and UV seem to work
every where.
