Field Notes

A classic saltwater fly for stripping in open water, around flats, channels, and bait schools. It is a versatile search pattern that can imitate baitfish and is commonly fished with short, sharp strips or a steady retrieve.

Pros

  • Highly versatile all-around saltwater pattern
  • Effective for imitating baitfish
  • Good choice for a wide range of inshore species

Cons

  • Can be less effective when fish are keyed on very small prey
  • May require matching the sink rate of the line or leader setup
