A few months ago, I was happy with some Smallmouth Bass Streamers (SBS's) that I tied, However, I ran across a similar looking pattern called a Low Fat Minnow. It is my understanding that Clark Pierce (aka Cheech and cofounder of Fly Fish Food) developed this pattern one day after he saw bass coughing up nearly transparent fry that they had gorged themselves on. After watching a tutorial that was hosted by Cheech, I knew I had to give this fly a try. I'm glad I did.
It is similar in a lot of ways to an SBS but without the dumbbell eyes, tied on a slightly smaller hook, and with a slightly different approach to tying in the different marabou colors. I like the idea of having SBS's that are weighted and able to be fished deep. I also like the idea of having some Low Fat Minnows that can be fished shallow or deep on a sinking tip line. I am planning on tying them in different colors as well. I tied both flies with a shad-like coloration but I'm planning on tying some in green and yellow (bluegill) and green and white (baitfish) color combinations as well. I will post those when I get them wrapped up. Get it?!?! Wrapped up! I crack myself up sometimes.
