Summer isn’t the time to work hard, it’s the time to get out there and fish. To help you make the most of every spare second you get to hit the water this season, Postfly’s June boxes have arrived packed with the flies you need to catch fish during the dog days and some gear to help celebrate the summer sun.
Coldwater anglers beating the heat by wet wading for big trout will be able to catch fish and represent their country at the same time. All of the flies from this month’s trout box are red white and blue colored, but that’s no gimmick, blue and red are some of the most effective colors on the water. Maybe the most American dry fly ever made, The Patriot will catch you fish when the hatch starts coming off, while the American John will fool them when things get tough. For those sunny days this summer, the white wooly bugger will catch them no matter what.
For those that won’t let a little heat stop them from hitting the warm water ponds and lakes, the classic patterns in the latest warm water box will keep your arms tired reeling in bass and kibbies all day long. The Skipper and the Muddy Buddy are two baitfish imitations that bass won’t be able to resist and the two Hot Flash variations will get hits all day. To get them on top throw out the brown or olive Wooly Worm and give it a few twitches; just be sure to hang on for the big strike.
For the anglers that like to tie up their own killer flies, both the freshwater and saltwater tying kits for this month feature modern variations of classic patterns that are even deadlier than the originals. Learn to tie the masked wooly bugger (watch the video here) and freshwater fish every will be chasing down your fly. The tried-and-true Gotcha Shrimp pattern just got an upgrade with the new Fish-Skull Shrimp & Cray Tail from Flymen Fishing Company. Their new Shrimp Tail Gotcha might be even deadlier then the original. (Watch the video here).
