Launched the pontoons from Renegade this morning just after 9:30 am and fished until 2:30 pm. A little wind kicked up around noon but not too bad, nothing like last Friday. We didn't get any fish until we were out in 30+ feet of water and stripping seemed to work better than just trolling. A white bunny and Crystal Meth were producers for us today. Sadly I left my camera in the truck but most fish were in the 18" range.

Good to hear you got a little revenge today. Always good to give them a sore lip!

What does a "crystal meth" look like? I don't dare do a google search on that subject.

Me too. My brother in-law came up with a fly he called that about 10 years ago that was a red chenille body and white bucktail for over wing and tail (like the showgirl).

Some flies are Fly Shop specific as you all know. These flies are from Mickey Finns Shop in Kayesville. The Krystal Meth is pictured along with the White Bunny I used. I also tried the Pasty Gangster and White Zonker but did not get any hits. I hope this helps.

So, your crystal meth is just a white bugger tied with Estaz. I have those, just called them white crystal buggers[laugh] Didn't work for me.

I thought the Crystal Meth was a Salmon Roe Fly tied with crystal rope bunched up to look like a egg sack.

Any how I tie a similar fly called a fugly but use purple uv chenille
Im sure white work well also.

We all need more flies and the time to use them.
