This fly was created when I borrowed the flash chenille of the Tequilly but wanted more tail action. I fish it around weed lines and lily pad beds, allowing it to sink slowly before beginning your retrieve. Don’t be afraid to fish it on heavy tippet, especially in areas where you may encounter pickerel, and they DO love this fly!Lee Weil
