Chubby Stimi – 6:30 PM at Aptos Grange, 2555 Mar Vista Drive, Aptos, CA, 95003
Taught by: Jesse Collins
Target Species: Trout
This fly is a simplified Stimulator pattern that keys in on the buoyant properties of the fly without some of the more complicated techniques. It’s a great dry/dropper pattern. The CDC and EP fiber wings have a great silhouette and the fly rides high in the water. This is a great caddis pattern (especially October caddis). You can play around with color combinations to match the caddis in your area. This fly is great for a hopper dropper set ups as well.
Class is Free

Target Species: Trout
We will be tying a streamer fly that is particularly successful at Crowley Lake near Mammoth. Tie up a few for the fishout there at the end of the month. It imitates a bait fish so will work in many stillwaters for bass or trout. Please bring your equipment and red 6/0 thread. If you don’t have 6/0, 8/0 will work as well. There will be a red sharpie pen to color any light colored thread.For you beginners, everything will be provided for you to borrow. As always, the class is free and all materials provided. Sign ups are very important in order to have enough material for all. Please do that at the club meeting or call with at least 24 hours notice. 831-234-6515
