Gander Bay Butterfly
Related content
First of all I should clarify, this is one of the several variations of a Gander Bay butterfly that I have had success with and am tying in this video. This particular version is very similar to the Ingalls butterfly and some people refer to this version as the gander bay butterfly.
This fly has proven effective on the Gander river from the start of the season in June until it closes in the fall in October.
Was not pleased with the focus on GoPro Fly Tying videos so for this one switched to Canon Rebel T1i shot in 1080p.
For best quality viewing switch youtube settings to 720 or 1080P.

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.
