tonyb 1,017 Posted May 16, 2012 Report Share Posted May 16, 2012 Hi All,Just had a heads up from a keen fly fishing/tying mate of mine about this fly.It's obviously American in origin, however my mate picked up that it is very popularin Tasmania and in particular for catching redfin.My thoughts are that it is deer hair construction like the "Muddler minnow" patternsand meant to be ripped quickly through the water as a streamer style Fly.This would mean it would be most effective during the Summer months when the redfin are actively chasing fish fry as redfin are normally bottom dwellers in the cooler months when they shoal up for breeding (in my experience).Give it a go, at the very least it will test your Fly tying skills and who knows, it may be all it's claimed to be?http://www.flyanglersonline.com/features/oldflies/part289.php Quote Link to post Share on other sites
