Fly Tying Video: Galloup’s Sex Dungeon

Posted on February 20, 2012 by Brian Wise

So the Sex Dungeon is probably the most request pattern I have gotten from the line of Galloup articulated streamers.  Obviously the name is unforgettable but for those that have seriously fished this fly they know the name is merely a tiny part of the "real deal" that this fly brings to the table.  The Dungeon has put more big fish in my boat than any other fly....period.  White, Yellow, Black, Natural--they all fish, and they hang some studs too.

Fly Tying Video: Kelly Galloup’s Bottoms Up

Posted on February 7, 2012 by Brian Wise

It may sound kind of funny since the Bottoms Up is probably the most underrated and least known of all of Galloup's streamers....but I caught my first big brown on an articulated pattern with this fly.  I-DIG-IT!  Just as good for smallmouth as it is big browns this thing will literally stand on it's head on the bottom of the river (as seen in the underwater footage at the beginning of this video).....Video set to John Denver, wait, WHAT?

Fly Tying Video: Kelly Galloup’s Articulated Peanut Envy

Posted on January 27, 2012 by Brian Wise

Rolling on through the awesome Galloup line of streamers, the Articulated Peanut Envy is somewhat of the little brother of the Circus Peanut.  It is a little smaller, a little lighter, but still fishes tremendously well.  I personally like this fly drifted on a twitch as much as anything, it has a great sink rate which isn't too fast and isn't too slow and it moves like crazy in the water.  I do a slight modification compared to the commercially tied fly in the fact that I tie mine on keeled hooks (a bent shanked hook) to get this fly to ride hook point up in the water without having to add dumbell eyes.

To be dead honest with you.....I hated to even mess with this photo.  Aaron Scott shot one of the best sillouhette against a sunset photos I have ever seen and messing with genius can equal bad stuff........sometimes.

Fishadelic Foto Friday.....one awesome photo edition.
