This tarpon fly pattern was designed by Bob Lemay to target backcountry tarpon. The fly is scaled down to a manageable 2/0 for the Florida everglades. In addition to being a good warm water fly, I'm planning on using this pattern to hunt a few bass and pike up north. You can tie this pattern in colors for targeting the species you are after. For tarpon, yellow/orange, black/red, chartreuse/white, brown/chinchilla, and black/blue. For pike and bass, I'll be tying the red/black, red/white, black/chartreuse, and a few other bright colors.
