it's the guy that taught me how to fly fish about 6-7 years ago. He used to own a shop in Shalimar, moved to Crystal River, then came back about 6 months ago. He's in FWB now and kind of working out of a pawn shop here until he finds another location. This guy is absolutely unbelievable with a fly rod. I owe him a lot for all the free instruction and excellent fishing trips he's taken me on.
His name is Capt Paul Darby.

Chalk, their on the way. Flats Bunny "Auburn Tiger" I tied them with a full weed guard (which can be cut to a single if you guys like). It's my goto fly on a flood tide when the redfish are up in the grass. Fish it slow and let the bunny hair do the work. Works good on pomps also.
Material
Mustad #2
White 1/8" rabbit strip
Crawfish 1/8" rabbit strip
Med Bead Chain eyes
White Quill Body - barred
#25 Hard Mason weed guard.

Him and Andy Mill get all the credit for me wanting/learning how to fly fish.
You ever get over to this area much anymore? Where do you usually fish?

Jim,
I was sent to a conference until Wed and went into a panic trying to pack and get work stuff together for the trip. I'll put the flies in the mail first thing when I get back. Sorry for the delay

Quick question for you flyfishing folks. These are some mighty tasty looking critters.............can you throw these flys with a spinning rod with 8 or 10 pound test?

You can, but you might not catch much throwing only a foot or so from the boat
