  • Fishing Tips
    This is an extremely easy, fast fly to tie. It has been an excellent stillwater fly this summer. If the fish are feeding on the surface, I fish this fly unweighted. If there aren't visable risers, I like to fish this fly with a floating line, a 12-14 ft leader, and a small split shot. This fly has produced so well, it is my first fly of choice when I get into my float tube.
