Tying the Rubber Band Fly

[fishnkid1923]

is that an eagle claw aberdeen hook?

[cancerkid888]

this might be a good fly simple as it is but i just don't see how it would catch anything worth your time. maybe small bream would take it.

drop the eyes add marabou and should be a good cinder worm pattern

no ofense man, but this fly is perttty lame. Wheres the pride in fishing a rubber band..

[TogakureDaisuke]

I think there's more then enough pride if it catches fish. Don't judge something before you try it

[uofmwolverine2008]

i agree with toga if you catch fish who cares

hey, was that you tying the rubber band fly, john? that was actually pretty cool ... i saw the "pickerel tournament" video as well (which i've seen on the site - love watching that when it's 95 degrees in richmond!) good job on the videos so far!!!

Yep... Thanks Joe!

seems very easy, was is it ment too imitate though, i was thinking a bloodworm? and was this pattern inspired by the flying condom?

[fishyaker]

Actually, I like to use soft jerkboats when using conventional tackle. It works in the water much the same. I had a bag of colored rubber bands, and thought, "what the heck." I was joking with a friend that it looks like a piece of Fishbites tied on the hook... Go figure. I saw reference to others also tying them on the web, but I had already been tying them for a while.

Cheers!
