Love the thought behind the fly. Been tying a long time and over the years have come to believe that simple is best. Perfect can’t wait to put one in the water
This really is a simple pattern , but it does look like a glass minnow,have you tried different hook sizes ? I could see making a bit larger size pattern of this just to see what it would do , have the white and grey I just need to see if I can find the pink crystal flash, I might need two hand fulls , some how mangrove trees have a way of attacking my line 😄👍
Hey Michael, here’s the material list: Lead clouser eyes -size- mini in plain/unpainted or black Hook - Mustad tarpon series C68SNP-DT size 2 Fibers - EP Gamechange in the color medium dun grey Hareline Dubbin’s UV Pink Krystal Flash Loon ‘thin’ UV epoxy
Use mono thread. Way less head build up. Should be good in the .003-.006 range. Anything thicker will become cumbersome to work with and build up way to quickly.
@@collaaborboehmtion2808 thanks so much! Headed to Deerfield next weekend from Colorado. Really hoping to see my rod bent! Wish I could find hire someone for tarpon, but might be too much for this trip. However, I do know how to strip set! Question... that medium fun grey looks kinda white. Can In just use white?

I’ve never tied it much larger than this. We have really clear water, so anything larger in our area is fairly unnecessary.
I wish you had zoomed in on the fly more while you were tying it
Hey there! I’m looking on your blog for the materials but there isn’t a list. Can you provide for me? Thanks!
