Views from the Vice – Slinging Meat

20120303-083336.jpg

Replenishing some of my favorite search patterns is the first thing I like to do during the fishing off season – but once that routine is over, what then?

This year I’m paying special attention to large streamers that have a hefty profile. While I’ve already shown some articulated streamers I’ve been tying up that will work for both Adirondack trout and bass… I’ve been trying to get more creative at the vice and have some fun tying up ‘meat’ that will get the express attention of one of PBO’s many 24″ wild browns.

Conventional wisdom from many meat slingers that I’ve noticed utilizes the color orange… Not just in the Adirondacks as the late Fran Betters suggested but all around the world. Following suit, I’ve incorporated some nice browns and oranges into the profile of this streamer shown above tied on a number 2 hook. I will come up with some variations on this theme, but I have high hopes for this pattern.

Tight lines!
