POP Zonker

No comments yet

In this fly tying tutorial, Danish fly tyer and fly fisher Mads Birkholt will guide you through the tying of the tube fly POP Zonker (Pink Orange Purple Zonker). This tube fly is designed for Arctic Char on a recent trip to Greenland, but has proven very effective for fishing for steelheads, salmon and sea run brown trouts when the water is cold, the fish are deep and need to be triggered to take the fly. Mads says about the fly: "The pink and purple colors and the orange hot spots is fantastic for arctic char and on a recent trip it did the job - it was immediately given a permanent place in the box."

Thread: Pink
Weight: Pro Flexibead # S (5 mm), Ultra Orange

A money box
The GFF money box

… I have a small favor to ask.

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.
