Tying G's Kingfish Ballyhoo Fly for King Mackerel

Spring is here on the Gulf Coast of Texas. That means our migratory fish are here as well. Jacks, tarpon, kingfish and cobia are all common targets for the fly fishing guides at Fly Fish Rockport this time of year.
G's Kingfish Ballyhoo is a favorite of Fly Fish Rockport fly fishing guides for Texas King Mackerel. And it's been known to take the occasional bull redfish, jack, cobia or tarpon as well. In this video Fly Fish Rockport guide, Captain Gibson McGuire, gives you step by step instructions on how he ties his Kingfish Ballyhoo fly pattern.
