I don't think I have that one yet, although white fish is on the list!

The pin is the perfect way to fish those, and in fact, what I had in mind when making them!

PMed my address to ya' Coley. Don't get carried away, since most of our time will be over bonefish, but if we see some fish eaters, I intend to try for them to add to my life list. I don't need tarpon sizes, probably can't cast them. I'll use the 10 wt for snook and grouper or snapper or whatever, there's a fish species that said to be excellent eating, but doesn't look all that much like a gamefish.
Save the nymphs for someone who will use them. I have some Skrunks I got from Twitch last season that haven't gotten wet yet. I really need to fish more for steelhead, but as a weekend warrior, this winter has been a bust between flood and freeze during the times I could go.
Sg Sorry for the lack of steelhead time this winter. Hearing that makes me sad, but I know the feeling. The freeze part at least. Plenty of that up here right now. -21F on the drive to work this morning. 10-4 on the nymphs. Sam, wanna get a few wet for me and see if anything eats them?

Wear goggles and a helmet.

P.S. Consider shoulder pads and kidney protection, too!

Nice fly J!
I haven't had a chance to cast the skulls yet, obviously, but I have to say my first impression was that despite their bulky size, they weren't terribly dense. I feel like a conehead of similar size is heavier and has a lot lower profile that would sink faster. The skulls have a pretty large void in addition to a lot of surface area that will create drag on the way down. As such, I have compensated by using en even larger size, which is leading to a somewhat disproportionate fly.
