See recipe and kit: olefloridaflys...
Thats a bad ass fly. I will be tying up a few to try here in Texas. Going to try on Redfish & Trout and probably even bass, should be a great all around fly. Tightlines
Oh yeah Chris, this thing would be perfect for Texas reds! Its a really good all around top water fly, wait till you see/hear the gurgle on it!
Best of luck, Mike P!
Awesome video 👍
Thanks man we appreciate it!
Hey there, nice pattern! Is there a benefit to whip finishing and tying back in for each foam attachment rather than never tying off and working from the back of the hook to the hook eye?
So I know exactly what you mean, I think it adds a small bit more durability of the foam not rolling. You can definitely not cut off and retie in if you put enough pressure or even a drop of glue! Thanks for the great question/comment. 👍
I get why you split the lower foam on the head. Why split the lower foam on the rear of the fly?
Hey Barney,
Thanks for the comment. In all honesty it's more for just aesthetics/symmetry. It might allow for the craft fur to move a little more freely and keep it in a more straight back fashion.
What bobbin are you using
Hey guys what is the best redfish fly you use in the flats with grass in them??
The Blue Claw! Link to it here olefloridaflyshop.com/shop/flies/saltwater-flies/bonefish-flies/blue-claws/

Ole Florida Fly Shop have you tried in any other colors?
@@joshhartley3287 I tie a all chartreuse blue claw with black/Green hackle and it works great. Having a "natural" and "bright" patterns gives you the opportunity if you get rejected to change.
