This fly doesn't look great in the box, but it starts to look great when it hits the water! The fly pictures is wet. I recommend a size 6 short-shank hook.
Looks like a dead parakeet! But I can see this catching some fish.
ReplyDeleteLooks like what my wifes cat chucks up every once in a while!! I live by the motto that pretty flies are for fishermen and fish prefer ugly ones (maybe that's because all the flies I tie ARE ugly). Gonna have to try this one.
