First Look Ribbit Swimming Frog

After coming up with the Salamander fly I thought it could make a good deep water swimming frog pattern as well.  So this is what Ive come up with so far.  If all goes to plan testing on both flies will be this weekend if not earlier.

First Look The Gourmet Salamander Fly

The prototype Salamander fly
After reading hundreds of reports from gear guys catching bass on salamanders, for the longest time Ive been trying unsuccessfully to create a fly that imitates these creatures.  Ive never even come close.  It was not until I started buying Fish Skull sculpin heads did I realize my dreams may have been answered.  I made a few quick drawings one day away in the journal and later when I had time went to the vice to see if theory can become reality.  Im still experimenting with the body and possibly the legs but this is what I came up with.  I had planned to try them today at Perris Lake but apparently my fishing buddys vagina hurt and canceled on me last night.  I know youre reading this, did you really expect no ribbing from me?  Ill have to wait to see if these flies are a go or no go.  Well see, hopefully next week.
Im trying various body material-one with craft fur, another with chenille and McFly Foam
What really sucks is that I didnt figure this fly out during the spawn where ideally Id be throwing these at bedding bass protecting their nests.  Ill have to wait for next year for that.  Also in the works is an articulated version.  If you leave the tail out it becomes a swimming frog pattern.
