Back to top Pete Newbie Joined: Dec 27, 2004 Posts: 49 Location: New York, NY Posted: Sun Jan 15, 2006 9:18 pm    Post subject: It's a fly created by a guide down in Palm Beach who really got me into saltwater fly fishing, Scott Hamilton. It's basically a baitfish pattern with big eyes and a fat epoxy head and a super hair body. They stand up to tough fish and last a while. Real basic, but I've caught everything from snook and jacks and albies down south to blues and stripers up here, and then pike and smallmouth and peacocks in freshwater. Just a good, basic, versatile fly. The only place I know that sells them is the Ole Florida fly shop in Boca Raton, Florida.

An Eat Me Fly will catch fish everywhere. Here's a link the shows Scott Hamilton's original tie: http://outdoorsbest.zeroforum.com/zerothread?id=394045 Here's a link that shows the Ole Florida version: http://outdoorsbest.zeroforum.com/zerothread?id=311796 Scott's is tied on a standard J-hook like a Mustad 34007, with material on the top and bottom. Ole Florida Fly Shop's is tied on a Gamakatsu SC15 with all the material on top. Either way, this fly rocks! BTW, the other 2 flies I'd have in my box would be a Chartreuse/White Clouser and a White Polar Fiber Minnow.
