Semper Fleye

Big baitfish-imitations need to have the right profile and movement in the water to fool the predators feeding in baitfish. Saltwater legend Bob Popovics has “cracked the code” several times with his innovative flydesigns, and the fly tied in this video is no exception of his creativity. The fly only consists of a few materials, mainly bucktail and schlappen-feathers and creates a great striped bass fly on simply manipulating the materials effectively. The design relies on the mass of collar hackles to give it bulky and buoyancy, but most importantly, it uses a novel method of attaching the long tail hackles to give improved action. We have in this video have the skilled flytyer and flyfisher Jason Taylor behind the vise to demonstrate the tying of Bobs Sempler Fleye.

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.
