Tying Tips: Have a fine tooth comb present to brush out the fly before and while trimming to shape. Be patient while trimming the fly, it will take you longer to trim the fly to shape than it is to tie in the material.
This very realistic baitfish pattern can be tied in any size and any color to match your baitfish. Tie them for big tarpon to bass or trout. The fibers are waterproof so they won’t hold water which makes the fly easier to cast. It is pretty much weightless so you can cast them on any rod.
This fly is a perfect example of a fly that you choose your depth with which fly line you use. With a floating fly line this fly will not get deep, you won’t have much luck unless you are fishing the shallowest of shoals. If you step up to a poly leader or sink tip line you will be able to get this fly to the strike zone for most river fisheries. Getting this fly to the same depth as the baitfish you are imitating is critical. If you fish this fly on deep lakes and rivers you may want to invest in a depth charge or full sinking line. A 250-300 grain weight sinking line is recommended. This is a great technique for targeting big fish chasing bait balls.
Fish this fly near structure for ambush predators like trout and bass.
