Member's Comments:
When tying this fly, keep in mind that the yellow flash tail is one half of the hook shank long and the head is not quite as big as that of a Pink Puff but it is larger than most other bonefish flies. (Such as Crazy Charlies or a Gotchas).
This fly is a mish-mash of various things:
| It uses the colors (white, Yellow and red) of Gian’s Moosehead Belle. | |
| The shape of the head is almost like that of the mini-puff, (one of my favorite bonefish flies). | |
| The rest of the body is kind of a Crazy Charlie/Gotcha combination. |
*Although the photo shows yellow calf tail on top and white calf tail on the bottom, the reverse is actually true since this fly swims upside down.
