Weight Balancing Flies... Mark Sedotti |
I began tying flies in 1991 because I couldn't find the flies I wanted no matter where I looked or who I asked. I lived on Western Long Island Sound, where the primary bait for Striped Bass and bluefish - the area's premier gamefish - was adult menhaden (also known as bunker), which are 10 to 15 inches long. I'd seen various bunker imitations, but none bigger than 6 inches. I needed something much bigger than that. So almost from the beginning I experimented with size, and in about a month had four flies of various sizes that I thought could pass for bunker in four different stages of development; the largest of these was a 13 1/2 incher that replicated the adult menhaden.
