Pictured below are five Peanut Flies that I tied and two of my hottest spoons that I am donating to the Ohio Member Meet.



The flies are made of a #4 2x treble, crystal flash, 272 Denier Gudebrod nylon thread, glow peanut head, red beads, small snap and 20" 20# florocarbon leader material.

How does that work? Do you troll those? Is that a packing peanut? is it fished on the top or witha a spoon trailing it? I've never seen anything like that. Im assuming it is used for great lakes trout/salmon?

I can see me trying to cast that with a fly rod and finding a trebble hook in my ear.

These particular flies are trolled, usually behind a flasher of some kind. They are used for salmon, trout and even perch have grabbed these suckers! Yes, used a lot in the Great Lakes, but also finger lakes and other sizeable bodies of water. The peanut is of foam, painted with either a solid color, glitter or even a glow combination (available commercially) and in many different sizes. This fly is fished below surface level (depth determined by temp or where marking fish or depth of water).

I really like those spoons turnip! 

Mo, those spoons have been extreamly good for lake trout, rainbow, brown and landlocked salmon.  Erabbit has been field testing these for a few years.  Walleye Wayne (Canada) has also had luck with the chartruse one.  We will be giving them a work-out the end of May at lake Seneca, NY.

The black spoon is a lightweight flutter, painted black with colored strip tape (available online or at tackle shops) and VMC treble hook.  The chartruse colored one is a little heavier and broader than the black one.  Also a VMC treble hook...The folks at the Ohio meet love these spoons...Hurry-up, you can still buy a chance to win these at the meet!

I guess I should add that these spoons as well as the peanut flies are used with downriggers or leadcore or dipseys...
