pellet flies

[elephrez]

hello,

can anyone make a pellet fly for the barra farm at bli bli?

will pay for them.

a cut up brown thong, seen it used with good results up there. Should be able to fly cast it. It was as simple as a hook super glued on a piece of shaped ( roughly ) brown thong

One can be made by spinning natural or brown coloured deer hair on the fly hook and cut to the desired shape of the pellets.

Craft stores have a brown solid foam rubber "string" for sale.

i have tryed a few pellet flys at the barra park and the best iv found is some iv made out of balsar wood dowl, i got the dowl from toy world. just cut them to shape and give them a file to smooth the edges, i like to make them just a little bigger than the real pellet as it cast a better silowet in the water and the barra seem hone in on it better but make some the same size as well for when they are being funny. once i got the shape i get a lighter and char the out side of the pellet lightly just untill it turns brown ,(i had nothing to paint them with when i made then) then rub the black bits off hehe, it will help getting a even colour. then get some super glue and ya hook and glue it on the bottom of ya pellet and ya done. these seem to work well 4 the 80-90cm buggers in there in the big boys pond

I didn't expect for so much response.
