I assume that "THEM" see in it want they want to eat....for now I have it in size 6 and will upgrade to size 2 and 1/0 in different colors. For now it's mixed white/green deer hair on shank, 6 strand of crystal flash at the bend and 2 long eyes in burned brown maxima nylon.<br>The biggest I hooked, around 15-20 lb was on size 2/0 same pattern but white/brown.<br><br>I think white/yellow should work, I've seen mantis of that colors.Fri, 18 May 2007 05:56:43 GMTPermit-Guadeloupehttp://www.addictivefishing.com/forum/Topic15146-13-1.aspxsounds like you are on fire!!! good job....do you have a secret fly?Thu, 17 May 2007 15:18:09 GMTbonefishwhispererhttp://www.addictivefishing.com/forum/Topic15146-13-1.aspxHi there,<br><br>Before yesterday I gone fishing one hour on a permit flat and from a mixed bone/permit school this permit took my fly.<br>At this day it is the biggest I landed. As here we have a lot of reef fishing while wading, you can imagine that when a 15-20 lb is hooked up he pass through the barer, if your lucky enough, line wont snag in reef if not it's snap off....<br>[img]http://www.gobages.com/forum-mouche/file.php?16,file=11244[/img]Thu, 17 May 2007 05:53:57 GMTPermit-Guadeloupe
