Fished the Paluxy on Saturday. The water was low and the flow was nearly non-existent, but the fish were really, really hungry. Between the two of us we ended up catching about three dozen fish in five hours, mainly smaller spotted bass and sunfish, with a few nice largemouth mixed in. I caught all my fish except one on foam topwater flies: a Llanolope, Llano Bug and Moorish Hopper. Here is a video of some of the fish.

I opened up my fly box and found that I only had one Llano bug in there. I know scary right? So I got out my gear and tied up a few. All different color combos and one in the quick easy yarn way.

Looks good. My most successful colors are yellow body with brown foam and yellow body with yellow foam. Of course, those are also the colors I fish the most, so other colors might work just as well. I just fish those two because that is what I have the most confidence in.

I can't say as I have fished or tied a brown foam yellow body as of yet but a brown foam and olive body works well. I am kind of curious how the others will do.

I've tied some with yellow foam,rust colored dubbing, and rubber legs in an orange pattern. It's worked better than any other color. Sunfish can't leave it alone and you pick up some small bass here and there.
