In this video I am tying a fly that is mostly inspired by Kelly Galloup's Cougar Minnow. I used wing made from bear's underfur because its crinkly and as such it will give me movement in water.
Thank you for watching.

This is a muddler design type of fly that is more or less a derived idea based on something that has been copied many times, but never the less an efficient fly that has caught the author many fish.
