Ugly as h*ll. <BR/><BR/>But for some reason it looks like a pupa for the fish: Last summer I fished at Kiveskoski (Testicle Falls/Rapids - gotta love that name) in Kitkajoki (Kuusamo, Finland) with two fly rig while caddis were hatching. I had #16 Green Deep Sparkle Pupa and other fly that I varied constantly. I got about 15 (quite small) graylings that evening. 14 of them with sparkle pupa, 1 with Black Zulu variant in curved hook. The fish bite Black Zulu only when other grayling was all ready hooked on Sparkle Pupa with the same cast.opaxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14278614751828949265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24970392.post-1155671252688128872006-08-15T22:47:00.000+03:002006-08-15T22:47:00.000+03:00You know I have NEVER tried the Sparkle Pupa.I don...You know I have NEVER tried the Sparkle Pupa.<BR/>I don't know but it just looks too much like a ET / Alien to me!<BR/><BR/>But that's because my to-go fly is the bead head pupa and that doesn't look like a tasty nymph either...Jayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07280153755488913968noreply@blogger.com
