Fly tying for dayyyzzzz

Dec 8, 2016 6:20 PM

This is one of my favorite patterns to fish. It's a Kelly Galloup's Zoo Cougar. From Smallmouth Bass to Big Brown trout this fly will catch them all and then some! This is a size 2.

This fly has a Marabou Tail, crystal braid body, Calf Tail underwing to prop up the over wing of Mallard flank. The head and collar are spun and stacked deer hair.

The same fly in my other favorite color.

These are a blast to tie! Not too long of a tie either. Typically about 15 minutes. Tight Lines Imgur!

See I love fly fishing but at the same time I suck ass at it. Funny how that works

Michigan is a trout Mecca too! Sadly where I'm at in VA we have a few solid trout rivers but it's mainly good Smallmouth fishing
