Marc Petijean Magic Heads

quite a while ago i bought a pile of magic heads and used them on some patterns , they had just hit the market and i thought id give them ago i bought 3 packets of them and used 2 packs on flies that have long since been given away , well a couple of months ago i found buried deep in a box of random stuff the last packet , so i decide that id make up some smaller baitfish for my local perch population i had a free day coming up , well i say free i was watching my boy while the wife went to work so i set aside this time to do them i had already dug out the hooks and stuck the heads on to save a bit of time when i came to do them .....great plan

well it would have been a great plan if when i cam to do them id bloody remembered where the safe place id put them was AAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGG so that was that idea shot down in flames , well last week i was getting some hooks out for a couple of streamers i was going make i opened the bag of hook to find the magic heads staring back at me , I'm pretty positive i didn't put them in that safe place so obviously somebody had moved them not me of course.

nothing really spectacular about these there really just scaled down pike flies , of course they will catch bigger pike but to me if your fishing a venue that has other species then you will off course pick up other bonus species with flies this size which incidentally are 4 inch's and tied on long shanked Aberdeen's , the Aberdeen hooks are very light so you get the best fly shake with these , nothing wrong with using heavier hooks i just prefer the lightweight hooks go with what your confident in

i do have a really funky plan for some surface versions of these which i think will destroy the largemouth bass when i head to Vermont for my yearly surface fly fishing adrenalin fix on Champlain , more on those when I've cooked them

so starts another week and I'm hitting a big water on Tuesday so watch out for some stunning scenic pictures and hopefully some fish on Wednesday
