Synthetic Glass Minnow

8 comments

Glass minnows are a light weight and easy to cast fly. They are also very easy to tie. Great flies for mimicking small fry, or see through fish like glass minnows. You will love fishing this fly, and also love tying them. Great for inshore saltwater species like redfish or sea trout, and also great for fresh water fish like bass and large trout.

Long story short

Support the Global FlyFisher through several different channels, including PayPal.

Long story longer

The Global FlyFisher has been online since the mid-90's and has been free to access for everybody since day one – and will stay free for as long as I run it.
But that doesn't mean that it's free to run.
It costs money to drive a large site like this.
