Ne'er deer olive or white. Great flies as well

Mirrolure makes a new bait called a mirodine mini. Action is very similar to 3m11 but only slightly larger. Works well. They'll make 3m11s for you in bulk for a hefty price like several hundred dollars. But I don't know anyone who has done that. I like the tiny matzuo nano and a weightless tiny fluke. If you like the fly rod, that works well too

1�-2� prerigged swim baits as well. The fly will out fish Ghost minnows and shad seigned right out of the river most days. With that bubble rig don�t need a fly rod to fish with a fly.

JKB Well done. I think my dad and his friend may be the initial source for most anyone around here that knows about them. I have called a few times about it as well, and get the same answer roughly. I actually found 2 of the mirrodine mini's that someone had returned from a fishing trip, same color 11, in a Academy in Fort Worth a few weeks back. I tied one on just to get a feel for it what it can do working it different ways. It has a similar action, but it's missing the back-up of the 3M, which is mostly what makes it so special and versatile. The mirrodine just stsys suspended at all times. I found some tricks I like, but I have to get it around some fish and see what gets them to hit it when fished on the slower side. It has an internal rattle, which I'm not that fond of in theory. It won't fish quite as shallow as a 3M either. It might not end up being magic, but it might end up being a pretty good weapon though, still.

I'll keep this fly info for sure. I might try to get some ready for next years run. Prerigged swimbaits is what I meant when I said weightless swimbaits haha. I've only used 2" though. I like them especially when there's a little current
