Tying Tips: Use a brush/comb/ or dubbing needle to pick out the material as you wrap. Go slow and try not to trap the fibers.
Because of the fish spine this fly has incredible movement. It looks just like a wounded baitfish in the water and the fish key in on that. The action and movement of this fly look just like a swimbait if you are familiar with terminal tackle. The use of the waterproof materials means that it doesn’t hold too much water so it is relatively easy to cast although you will need a stiff 6wt and up for this fly. Use this fly anywhere baitfish are present in your fishery.
Trout key in on baitfish patterns (streamers) when there are no hatches. For most of us this means late fall-early spring. That being said, big predatory brown trout (and bows too) will always eat a big meal. If you want to target big fish this is the fly for you.
Bass eat baitfish year ’round. Use this fly whenever you go bass fishing to target big hungry fish. On lakes this fly works great for big largemouth and river smallmouth.
Make sure you get this fly to the correct depth of the fish. This fly needs to be fished on a sinking fly line in nearly every situation. Once you get the fly to the correct depth strip erratically to produce great swimming action.
