Propeller Flies

[AlexKhan]

Picture

 

I troll these very slowly on big lakes like Maligne / Murtle where I can paddle, fish and scramble rock. I discovered that my scanner takes much better pictures than my camera (no macro lens).

 

Hook: Streamer 4x or longer

Tail: Marabou

Body: Seal mixed with diamond dub in a coffee grinder, grizzly hackle, brass beads and propellers (silver/chrome for bright days).

There is a story by John Geirach which describes how a friend of his fishes a Propeller Pete on an exclusive spring creek much to the dismay of some purists. Yes, I can see how these would work quite well.

Great photos Alex, What camera are you using? May have to think the Maligne Lake trip over,spoke to you this evening, it is kinda close to my Manitoba trip. It does sound interesting though. I haven't used the propfly , have heard of them. May have to tie some up.

Thanks Dan. Maligne is gorgeous when the tourboats aren't buzzing about. But I also have a great deal of respect for her moods. The camera is a Canon PowerShot G10 ... more info.
