Good morning. I have to be careful how I continue with this post. The words will be key, and I hope I don't offend anyone. It's true I'm going fishing this day with a few whores. I have fished with these before and have been very lucky.
I'm going to give you some background on these whores. I'm not certain if they are from Montreal. I first came in contact with them in Maine. They were made very popular by Dan Legere of the Maine Guide Fly Shop in Greenville. I first fished these on the Kennebago River just below Little Kennebago lake. They were tossed into the cold waters in the last week of September.. The very first one to bite was a 16 inch salmon.
Below I'll give you some details on how to get these whores to work for you. They love working days, especially in the Autumn time.
Let me introduce you to the "Montreal Whore". This is an attractor pattern that gets attention. I have fished this streamer many times in Maine and has proven itself as a fish taker. The fly is a pretty simple pattern to tie, and the materials are readily available and inexpensive. A lot of shops as well as anglers have gone politically correct in renaming it the "Montreal Floozie" There will be none of that here.
Materials....red and blue bucktail, red Uni-Stretch, silver tinsel, and white marabou.
Alan, these hookers are unusually attractive and are probably a lot of fun to fish with. Thanks for sharing the materials with which to dress 'em!

Walt, hookers, well done.
I'll take two "whores" and a six pack of the muffins to go please. Great looking fly Alan!

You've got it buddy.
I actually have a couple of "Montreal Bucktail Whores" in my fly box that I (yeh me) tied. You know me, anything with a cool name like the "Red Naked Lady" fly.

Who would have thought. "Red Naked Lady" I've never seen one of those.

Next time we meet. Pete they worked well today at a spot we have fished on the Farmy. One heavy strike, and off it was. The JV salmon hit it like crazy.
Here's a fly I think I can tie and I'll be they'll work here as well.

Howard buddy I know you can, and I agree they would probably work in CO.
I have had a rough couple days. This post made me smile. I am gonna make time to fish in the next few days. I may just bring a whore or two with me. Thanks. Seriously thanks

I know life can throw some real crap at us, I'm glad you now have a smile.
Get out and enjoy yourself, you deserve it.
You handled it nicely. The name is perfect.

It sort of has that Floozie look.
Anything goes in Colorado.....................................
ReplyDeleteI think if you "strip" them quickly while using them you will get more for your money!
Mel Moore,
DeleteThanks.
Is that so.
Your right Mel. That streamer works best when you work it fast. Salmon love it.
Once a whore always a whore. There is no other name.

ReplyDeleteI just returned from Moosehead and we fished them on the East Outlet of the Kenebec and the Roach. This fly was by far the most successful streamer for the week. I'm going to tie up some little whores and try them on the local streams of RI.
