OK, I�ll tie up a Cecil�s pantyhose pellet fly for you and take pictures.
You can tie up a half dozen or so by the time you read this post, but don�t last as long on the hook as Stubby Steves.
Over the years I have caught hundreds of every species of fish in our ponds except our Florida LMB - they are reserved strictly for my Spinster and Dusty Abney�s UDF deer hair bass bug... grin

Panty hose can be used to encase fish food pellets and/or closed cell foam pellets � each has it�s own use and advantage
I like the foam version best when sight fishing and need a floating fly.
The disadvantage is that in clear water the fish get hook-shy fast.

The fish food version is my go to pellet fly, fished on a heavier hook so they will slowly sink. In our Texas turbid water the fish are attracted by smell and not by sight.
Try �em � you�ll like them.

G/All: What's your preferred size/style/brand of hook for highest % positive hookups and reduced weight to allow a good drift vs. slow sink? This would be great info for the forum!
