Lance's Cyclops Floating Pond Smelt Size 6
Milt Jensen designed this fly back in the 1980’s and it still fishes great today. I have tweaked this fly a little. I removed the marabou tail and added on Puglisi 3D Silky Fibers for the tail. Other than that, it is tied the same as the original. A great fly for Lake Almanor, Lake Oroville and Butt Valley Reservoir. I fish this fly on a floating line with a 71/2-foot 2X or 3X tapered monofilament leader.
This pond smelt is tied Milt Jensen version, but I laid the complete pond smelt on it side to represent a stunned smelt that is helpless. Great fly at Butt Valley Reservoir Powerhouse.
