Description

This is one of my favorite saltwater flies for bonefish, permit, and other flats fish. It is small and lands softly, and it has a range of appealing crustacean characteristics. I have also used it to catch tide-water kings and as a very effective follow-up fly when swing fishing for steelhead. It's like a wiggly little muddler but different. This pattern is available for U.S. shipping only.
