Chris_in_Louisiana 0 Report post Posted April 8, 2022 Good morning guys, With a trip to the Osa region of Costa Rica less than a month off, I've been slowly stocking my saltwater box in preparation. Along the way, I've started to put together a few related step-by-steps for my blog and thought I'd share this week's in case anyone is interested. Up first is the Bendback Minnow. More a style of tying than actual pattern, these flies run hook point up and are effectively weedless making them ideal for fishing around heavy vegetation, mangrove lined shorelines and anywhere else snags may be an issue. With pacific snook on the brain, I've been sticking to White & Olive over White versions that I hope will do the trick as I visit some Mangrove lined river mouths. One word of caution: Be careful not to overbend. The bend shown below is about the max. Bend any further, and the you may experience more than a few missed hook sets due to the angle. Pics are below, but here's a link with more details for anyone who may be interested: https://fatfingeredflytyer.com/bendback-minnow-fly-step-by-step/ Enjoy Chris Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
