Yeah that fly is mostly longer saddle feathers with a little buck tail. Kinda resembles a sand eel.

Okay, yeah, whatever! You just lost me!

These are pictures from this past fall. I like to fish for bass with small flies and small rods. I do use big flies but only when I’m tired of catching bluegills. Bluegills are a lot of fun on a fly rod though. Most of them fight harder than a bass of equal size.

Striped bass eat them. The fly I caught the fish with vaguely resembles a sand eel.

I’d be weary if I came up on something looking like that little fly IRL. Afraid it packed a good punch of a sting.

One I caught a few weeks ago. Ignore the mud, I was standing on him trying to yank the smaller fish out of its mouth lol.

Nah they’re harmless and little. The only thing you have to worry about here is bluefish. They’ll bite your finger clean off. 9 times out of 10 they just take my flies and a length of line. Apparently they don’t appreciate hand made goods.
Seriously though they’re dangerous and will keep trying to bite you when removing a hook.

Good lord! Reminds me of one of my new pullets. D@mn thing has the neck of an owl and will nail me in a split second, no matter how hard I try to steer clear. I can just be petting the cockerel beside her and I’m bait. She is sooooo close to

Yes, and even though it isn’t pronounced as it appears, in my head I say “crappie” but when I speak it I say “croppie.” Old habits are hard to break. Crap is CRAP, not CROP. Just saying.

I feel very ‘Upstairs Downton Abby” when I pronounce it croppy.

That is the only way I have ever heard it pronounced.
