Grub tied on a black octopus hook - video

Just added a video of a grub I tied using a black octopus hook size 4. When I seen the hooks I thought they would make a great fly tying hook and they did work for flies. Tied this fly to work for a grub. We have a lot of grubs, so now I have a good fly to try. Hope you enjoy the video.

Lookin Good

Excellent tie and excellent video Ron. By the way I think that sucker would be a killer ice lure too.

Thanks JSC and papaperch.

Nice work Ronnie!

Very nice looking fly and great explanation on the video. That would do well with crappie on one of the lakes i fish.... and be killer on smallmouth in the river.

Thanks Heath and Russ. Looking forward to getting these wet and see what the fish think about them.

Great work as always,but....


all we need now Ronnie is a video of you with a Fly rod in your hands...

Great-looking fly and a very nice video. You are inspiring me to pick up a fly rod again.

I plan on going trout fishing next week but not sure if I can get anything on the video camera but will try. Going to scout some rivers and mountain creeks I haven't fished in many years and I plan to take an friend with me that has never fished for trout. Bill is in his 70's so I hope to find some fish close to the roads so we don't have to go far into the creeks plus I will be teaching him about fly rod fishing. Should be a fun trip.

Thanks Pup. I don't use my rods as much as I would like to or should. Hope you pull the fly rod out soon.

Really like the look of that grub!!

Very cool - Thnx for sharing

Thanks for the video. I bought some of those hooks several months back. So I will give your grub a try.
