and Sea of Cortez. We have caught them in Belize, Texas, Florida and Mexico. They are strong fighters on #5-#6 weight fly gear. Ladyfish are very acrobatic and may jump as many as 10 times when hooked. Ladyfish are very aggressive biters. When the are around, they are easily caught. This can be a pleasant change from other difficult saltwater species.
	Florida Ladyfish

Patt Barnes releases a Texas Ladyfish. Fish averaged 20" - 30".

Ordinarily Ladyfish like small streamer patterns stripped fast. We have caught them in water as little as a foot deep and with sinking lines as much as 20 feet deep. Ladyfish usually travel in small schools of a dozen fish or less, but in Florida we fished an area that seemed to contain several hundred. Fish were hooked on nearly every cast. Most Ladyfish are 2-3 pounds. The world record is 5 pounds 14 ounces. To Top

*** The Sandy Blue Tube Fly To Top
	Hook: TMC 105, #4 Tube: 1 1/2" soft plastic Body: none Thread: blue 210 denier flat waxed Rear Hackle: black marabou plume wound as hackle Flash: rainbow flashabou, varied lengths Middle Hackle: black marabou wound as hackle Front Hackle: kingfisher blue schlappen
This has been a very successful steelhead fly from Oregon to British Columbia. Thread the leader through the tube from the front of the fly. Tie on the hook with an improve clinch knot. Jam the eye of the hook into the rear of the tube. I started using this configuration so that a large fly could be fished without the chance of injury to small steelhead that larger gap hooks were causing. It was soon evident that the small hooks actually landed a higher percentage of fish that the larger ones. This fly is extremely light weight and has a lot of movement in the water which seems very attractive to the fish. This light weight also makes for ease of casting, but the silhouette remains large in the water and can be easily seen. Other colors can be tied in this configuration. More about this in the future.
