Swimminer Flies |
|
Swimminer Flies are new in 2004 at The Fly Fishing Shop. These flies swim side to side as they are retrieved, thus offering a unique dimension to fly action. |

The un-weighted series has a slow wiggle and the weighted flies have a faster wiggle. All Swimminers are tied on saltwater-safe hooks. It is the combination of wire re-enforced, epoxy coated, concave |

Swimminers are new and the full extent of their usefulness hasn't been fully explored. They are proven on Large Mouth and Small Mouth Black Bass in fresh water, and on Jacks, Snook and Dorado in saltwater. Every fly has a mono-loop weed guard.

Swimminer,
Black Black is a favorite night fishing color. It is also a good choice when fishing turbid water. Bass in muddy sloughs and baby Tarpon in jungle rivers are prime candidates for black wiggly flies. Don't forget that big Kamloops and Bull Trout like big, wiggly flies too. |

Swimminer,
White White is good choice when night fishing, especially under a bright moon. White fishes at all depths, but is most noted for the belly flash that it gives off when fished close to the surface. |
