Mercury Black Beauty

No comments yet

Here we will be tying the fly Mercury Black Beauty by Pat Dorsey. The fly is a great option for both stream and lake fishing when tied in small hook sizes like #16-24. The fly is originally from Arizona in the US, but similar patterns in similar sizes you can probably find worldwide just with different names. The fly catches both brown trout and arctic char and has been successful for me personally especially when the fish is picky and not willing to take the ordinary patterns. Mercury Black Beauty is a simple pattern to tie and totally worth keeping a few in your box when you go fishing.

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.
