Just For Fun, Invent Your Own Fishing Fly... On the Fly! #fishing #bassfishing #flyfishing
![]() |
| Impromptu Fly |
Here is the Impromptu Fishing Fly that I invented on a whim. I planned to fish the local pond for spawning Bass sight casting as they guard their beds. As I like fishing fly that provides a high contrast to the lighter colored beds that Bass build during the spawn, I came up with an impromptu pattern that I now call the "Impromptu Fly"!
In the video below, I had tied this pattern about five minutes before fishing it. Do give this pattern a try and let us know how it works for you.
The recipe calls for:
- Size 8 Streamer Hook
- Two Red Marabou Plume
- Lead Wire .020 - ten wraps
- Pink Chenille - preferably the "fuzzier the better"
- Dacron Tying Thread - Red
- Build a thread base, apply ten wraps of lead wire starting at the middle of the hook shank and wrapping toward the hook eye.
- Secure the lead wraps with thread wraps along its entire length, stopping the tying thread just forward of the hook bend.
- Next, tie in one Marabou Plume at the same point - just forward of the hook bend, wrapping toward the hook eye and stopping at the middle of the hook shank. Trim the excess Marabou.
- Then, flip the hook so the hook point is above the shank. If using a rotary vise, rotate 180 degrees. If not, remove the hook from the vise, and flip the hook over, and then secure in the vise.
- Tie in the second Marabou Plume where you stopped tying in Step 3 - the middle of the hook shank. wrapping toward the hook eye, then wrapping back to the middle of the hook shank. Trim the excess Marabou.
- Next, tie in the Pink Chenille forward of the Marabou Plume making sure the Chenille is butted next to the Marabou along the shank. And then, apply thread wraps toward the hook eye, stopping one hook eye length behind the hook eye.
- Then, wrap the Chenille forward covering the lead wraps and stopping one hook eye length behind the hook eye. Secure and then trim the excess Chenille.
- Finally, build a tapering head and secure with a whip finish knot. Apply head cement, let dry and then go fishing.

Shake a Z-Man Ned Rig in Front of a Bass? Caught One! #fishing #livestream #bass
Was walking the bank looking for Bass on beds. Saw two in the shallows but no bed nearby. They were just lurking near the bank. Shook a Ned Rig in front on one Bass' nose... Caught him!

Let's Try the Foam Grasshopper Again #GoPro #fishing #livestream
Fishing updates... tried fishing the Foam Grasshopper at the local pond. One Bass and one Bluegill caught and released, else it was a lot of missed strikes once I located the Bluegill. Did get an idea where to fish next time at least. May try a Foam Spider aka Betts Bream Getter next time. The longer body on the grasshopper may be giving them too much leeway from the hook point. More to come!

GoPro Mobile Fishing Livestream
The 3BR Powersports external USB and battery cover has been a game charger for yours truly! Prior to using the product, the Hero 8 would overheat and shutdown between one 45" to 1 hour when livestreaming. Since then, I can stream for over an hour!
To date, the max livestream has been just short of two hours but I could have gone longer... much longer as the power brick I use was at 80% charged. Quick guesstimate... close to 8 hours of continuous livestreaming!
Below are a few of the videos from the past week where I posted the GoPro Mobile Fishing Livestream to our YouTube @coaffieldteam providing a first person point of view while I fished local ponds!
