Ever tied a brown-hackled peacock? Well, just add a red tail(bucktail), and you have the Red Tag. I used one on Lake LBJ (GraniteShoals, TX) last October, and was bringing in the bluegills, longears,and redears that consistently measured btwn 9 & 10 inches.Tryit.  It's simple: hook (I prefer a #12 or 14 dry fly hook, such asTMC100BL), thread, 2 or 3 strands of peacock herl, small bunch of redbucktail, brown or black hackle, and, sometimes, a little lead wire (Iuse solder).See More

I got a HUGE bullhead cat on the fly last week. I was bass fishing with my new TFO clouser rod with a sz 6 shad colored clouser when I hooked this monster bullhead! it was 3lbs 8oz and was 17in long with a 14in girth! I also included the other pretty big bass I caught that night.
