Friday Fly Day äóñ Karl Sawyeräó»s Turangi Picks

With the Winter Fly Fest only a few weeks away no doubt many will be at the bench tying, or down at your Manic Retailer buying your arsenal for a productive weekend away. To make life easier we asked Manic Mate, Karl Sawyer what patterns he used to kill it down there just recently. Karl writes: äóìI always carry two rods over winter, one set up for nymphing, and one for swinging. My äóÖgo toäó» rig is a BTB Hare and Copper Bomb in size 10 with either a Glo Bug Tangerine / Brite Red Size 14, or in clearer water the Late McRoe. On the Scott Two Hander I generally run an orange tungsten bead head rabbit in size 6 but if not a gold bead, olive woolly bugger is a pretty reliable standby.äó BTB H&C Bomb Glo Bug Tangerine / Brite Red GTB Slim Shady With some fresh runs pushing upriver itäó»s looking to be a great few weeks. August 11th. See yäó»all there!
