Re: Mop Fly
#21I really don't care what people fish, but I don't understand why some people are so against them. It can't be because they are synthetic, people use synthetics all the time. Is it their simplicity to tie? That they don't imitate something specific?
Re: Mop Fly
#22Look, here's my offer. I received a big bunch of mop pieces of various colors from a friend who ties them for a shop. I anyone wants a few to try I will gladly send them a few. A couple of bland ones that you won't feel so guilty about trying and a few bright ones for dirty water. Also a couple of the new craze on the Blue River the Mega Worm with baby yarn. Just PM me your address and I'll get you a few.

#23Lanny, I can understand the real purists being against them just as they are any beadheads but for those who fish beadheads buggers and San Juan Worms it's just the idea of the fact they originated from cut off mop heads. If they had been originally just been called called yarn bugs they probably would not get the backlash they have among so many of the purists and semi-purists.

#24Just too easy - very little learned. Not complex. Boring.
Effective.
Norm's Mop shown in post 14 is the bees knees. I trade that Mop for Norm's.
