Lockdown Minnow
This is an easy fly that we have aptly named The LOCKDOWN MINNOW. It has “saved the day” for us more than a few times. Even though it’s pretty simple in design, it still offers the same triggers as more complex flies, i.e. Movement on the pause, side to side action, and a neutral buoyancy that drive bass wild. When you watch this thing fluttering over submerged boulders in the afternoon sun, and see fish come out and wreck it, you’ll understand! A very fun and effective template.

Downpresser
This pattern has been great for us. It’s got a nice little jigging action, and can be fished in shallow water or deep water. Adjust the size of eyes to your liking. Can be tied in a wide variety of colors, but this one has been awesome for us.

Warpaint Minnow
One of Erich's favorite smallmouth flies, this thing flat out catches fish! Easy to tie in a wide array of colors. All you need to do is change the color of craft fur, keeping the body and throat the same (white).
