Note: This is a great fly for any fish that eats other fish, from trout to tarpon. The action is unsurpassed, and you get a long fly without a lot of bulk or weight. This is not a pattern to copy exactly. It’s a style of tying developed by Blane Chocklett and you can use any color combination you like, with or without the Filler Flash.
