Nice selection. It's always fun to learn and tie new patterns, for a new kind of fishing. Good luck on your trip!

I'd say you got every angle covered with that assortment of flies. Shouldn't have any problem hooking up and you are certainly right about catching fish on flies you tied, there's nothing better!

Tie up some cajun crustaceans in purple and yellow. All the redfish in south Louisiana are LSU fans. Actually the purple and yellow is a real hot combo in the marsh. That blue crab looks awesome. All of them look really good, I'd be proud of them. Good luck on your trip.

All of them look really good, I'd be proud of them. Good luck on your trip. I've noticed they sell a lot of the redfish flies in purple and gold so I will tie some up. Everyone and everything in that state is crazy about LSU, no reason the fish shouldn't be also.

You might think about tying a few with weed guards. Grass and oysters can cause you some grief.

Well, the trip got rained out and rescheduled for September, so I am going to have to wait a bit longer to see how the flies work.

careful with the flat one's. I ties a foam frog out of a couple of circles of craft foam. helicoptered (spun) so bad when cast that it buzzed at it went past my head. ruined my tippet and leader. the only positive was that it would flip on the surface a couple of times when it landed.
