It doesn't get more natural than this...
Name: Pellet Fly, aka Dough Ball Originator: Some desperate redneck (unknown) Recipe: Deer Hair, Mustad Size 12 Egg hook. Spin and pack the deer hair onto the hook 3 or 4 times and trim to size/shape. Tie a few up and take a newbie fishing! ![]() ![]() Musselwhite Last edited by Musselwhite; 05-21-08 at 06:27 PM.

You are right, it could be fished subsurface as well. I tied this up for a specific river where the fish are heavily fed with floating pellets.

Alright,
Gonna give me secret away since I don't use these anymore. When trout hang near a feeder, they often like a floater and it has to float just right. My best pellet pattern is tied with a specific type of foam. Now that baseball season is in, go to Wal-Mart and get and one of the regular sized, soft, baseballs. These are made with a soft, cellular foam that is the exact color of the tan trout pellets. Cut to size and tie on...they are indestructible and will last as long as your thread. A brown permanent marker will allow you to match the dark brown pellets. Good luck!
