Changes in the Luscious Lemon
Due to the hackle shortage, we have been forced to change the Luscious Lemon up a little bit. Really all we changed was the hackle and tail colors. We had to switch to a yellow tail and black hackle. The hackle we have left that we used to use for this fly was also used on the Fish Foolin' Frog. We began to run low on the hackle so we switched everything up somewhat. I like it a lot but I am curious to hear what you all think. Here it is and let us know
I really like it! I'm not an expert by any means, but those colors do it for me.
ReplyDeleteThanks Howard. I really like the look of this guy better than the older version. So does Melissa.
DeleteStill looks just as luscious to me!
ReplyDeleteThanks Jay. It is a great name. I do like it better this way.
DeleteBlack hackle with yellow tail is one of the best popper tail combos. Its the old standard on many of Peck's Poppers and one I grew to like when I first began throwing Pecks' bugs at fish back in the late 1970's.
ReplyDeleteDon't know what the old luscious looked like, but this change is certainly a good one with a long track record of success.
The old version had a black tail and yellow/black grizzly hackle. It looked good but I feel like this one looks even better. Thanks for reading and commenting.
DeleteGreat looking fly there, I've had a lot of success with the black hackle yellow tail combo.
