Blue Back Baitfish
Related content
Neutral baitfish imitations, or variants in the colors green/chartreuse or blue are a "must-have" in the fly box, and can be a very effective fly type in both fresh and salt water. In this video we once again have the skilled Dutch fly tyer Sander Zuidinga behind the tying-vice to demonstrate his simple and very effective approach to a good-looking imitation of a baitfish. Sander is a big fan of the soft material Nayat, which gives a good profile - and combined with the flattened hackle and the stiff fibers from the bucktail creates a good imitation of baitfish with a good transparency and profile - a must in the fly box.

Since you got this far …
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.
