You can modify this fly by adding lead or no lead wire, wrapped or as a keel, or simply use split shot or a sinking line to get it down. Use your scissors to get the head to the shape you prefer.Īdirondack guide and tyer Rich Garfield really hit the ball out of the park on this one, the coyote hair provides a great natural color blend and swims beautifully in the water. This series is not written for beginner tiers who are still learning simple methods and steps, but for experienced tiers looking to diversify their fly selection that can understand very simplified instructions that don't cover every step in detail. But they all work, and I have an immense amount of faith in them.
Most of these flies, basically all of them, are other tyer's designs. And because I do routinely mention specific fly patterns, and have over the years simplified and honed my own fly selection down to relatively simple to tie but extremely effective patterns that can fool more than one species of fish, it's high time I started a fly tying series.
Whatever the reason, I only occasionally have written actual fly tying posts, with recipes, tips, and productive patterns. That may partly because fly tying feels more like actual work to me than fishing does, but that's neither here nor there. Throughout the years, I've very infrequently delved into fly tying on this blog.
