The Bizurk Bunker is designed to
imitate a fleeing menhaden (bunker) as it splashes and darts
franticly on the water's surface in an effort to avoid a
predator. Most conventional surface flies use bulky foam
to keep the fly on top of the water, however this pattern
incorporates a Fly Lipp (www.flylipps.com)
in the upward facing position. The lip causes the fly to rise and
splash during the strip. Unique among topwater flies is
the bizurk bunker's fall below the surface on the pause between
strips. This is a more natural motion than a fly that
remains on top of the water at all times. The "hi-tie" method of tying allows for replication of the high
profile of a bunker without excess material. Fish this fly
with fast, aggressive strips and it will gurgle and pop.
Slow the strip and the fly will produce a V-wake. Go even
slower and the fly will remain several inches underwater.
I've found that the most realistic retrieval of this fly
involves a combination of all three strips. Throw this
pattern out there and watch the fish go bizurk!
