[#0000FF]I first saw it on a program called "Fin Chasers". They filmed a segment on a river below a dam in Tennessee and they were throwing those things for big stripers and wipers. I was amazed at how they swam in the water...and how well they worked.[/#0000FF]

[#0000FF]I have since spent some time on the Internet looking up more info on them and have discovered a whole lot of different patterns and variations. That stuff they use for tying in the video is pretty spendy, but others have come up with some great patterns using different hairs, feathers and synthetics...and in some great colors.[/#0000FF]

[#0000FF]I was talking to a kokeaholic (kokanees) a few days ago and he wants to try some in hot pink...and maybe with a stinger hook in the tail. No probby.[/#0000FF]

[#0000FF]I know that making up some smaller double jointed models...in blacks, browns and olives...will likely get some votes from big streamborn brownies.[/#0000FF]
[#0000FF]

[#0000FF]Can't wait to finish up with my current projects and get to playing with some of those furry critters.

[#0000FF]Since I know how to work with wire...and have a bunch of different sizes...I can make my own metal links...which cost about a buck a fly if you buy them. And I am also going to make some using small bead chain. Got a whole bunch of ideas on colors and patterns that should work on a bunch of silly Utah fishies.[/#0000FF]

[#0000FF]I am attaching a few pics I have snagged for reference. But there is a ton of stuff on the web if you plug in "Game Changer Flies" in your browser.
