Tying Instructions

Note: This fly was another Fly Tyer cover in Winter of 2000. These flies are tricky at first and mine first ended up being a winter challenge. Surprisingly, the first one off the vice, is the one pictured here. It has been fished and as you can see is remarkably durable. Big fish love big stones. The best way to learn to tie this fly is by purchasing a back issue of Fly Tyer or by buying Oliver Edwards "Fly Tyers Masterclass" a book I highly recommend. My fly is actually a hybrid of the two resources mentioned above and was tied to the size of a natural that came from a stream in the Great Smokies National Park. Fish it on the bottom on the slowest drift possible. Use some heavy tippet. |
