The Global FlyFisher has recently been updated to a new publishing system, and there may be a few glitches while the last bits get fixed. If you meet anything that doesn't work, please let me know.

I tied this fly out of necessity than anything else. I hit up a small lake a week or so ago, and I had multiple hits but never actually stuck a fish. They were hitting the tail end of the fly, and not touching the hook. So I am tying this fly that will hopefully give me more chances to hook into the fish since there are 2 hooks, and hopefully keeping one hook towards the tail end will help it get those short hits.

Hook: Daiichi 1750 - size 8
Thread: UTC 140 - Dark olive
Cone head: 6mm, silver
Tail/Body: Rabbit zonker strips - 1/8", olive
Flash: Gold crystal flash and black holographic flashabou
Flash collar: Starburst dubbing: golden peacock
Dubbing head: Olive bull frog dubbing/olive starburst dubbing

… 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.
