This is a pattern that came out about 2 or 3 years ago. It is basically a honey bug that uses a peace of a mop instead of tying the chenille on the hook. It works well on fresh stocked fish. Honey bugs came out in the mid 60 from a gentlemen whos name was Berger. He sold them as well as a kit to tie them. Really nothing new.

I did some reading about it, and found that it is an excellent fly for just about any type of fishin'
anyone cares to do. Here are some articles (some have videos), just a google search page nothing
cherry picked.

If your post is about tying flies, you'll probably get a lot more responses here:Quote:

Well, after close to 1200 views between all 3 posts I'd think they might be in the right place.Quote:

I like fly fishin' there are folks here that like it too it seems. Some might like tyin' them as well
so I thought I'd post'em here where my targeted receivers are. Hopefully, after the doors are
open to the fishin' holes some will have tyed them and some feedback will pop-up. Would be nice,
but not that important to me. Just like for'em to be tried is all.

I fished a stocked stream near Gettysburg last week and only had limited success on nymphs and wets. I then put on a white honeybug and in 6 or 7 cast produced 5 more trout. Those stock fish were used to pellets and bread. I have tried them on wild trout as well. Both in the Letort and Bigspring. I did catch a few Brownies but did not think that that was my best choice in fly selection. I tried them for great lakes steelhead and had a few looks. However I never really did not fished them enough for the steelhead to make a good judgment. I like to sight fish them in C and R areas. These fish get caught and released many times so they can take a fly and spit it out quicker then you can set the hook at times.
I'm going to add this to my arsenal for those slow days and I want to catch some freshly stocked fish. :)

Errr ummm speaking of the kibble fly. LoL A 75 yr young gentleman shared this secret with me a few years back. He commented on my cast and ability to lay a fly out. We got to talking and I asked him how he was catching all these stockers piled up behind me. He shared the secret and I told him "This is how I will keep my kid excited about fly fishing." It worked too! Once things slowed down, Kibble Fly and my son was hammering them. Smiling with an ear to ear grin, I knew he was hooked!Quote:
