Fishkill 0 Report post Posted December 7, 2009 I think a redfish candy is just a ducer with lead eyes and a chenille or estaz head. I googled this image, could be wrong, looks like a great fly reguardless. I think rooster feathers, estaz, eyes, some flash, blammo. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Flyfish Dog 0 Report post Posted December 7, 2009 I have an article on it and been searching for it but haven't found it. Fishkill is really what I think I remembered what it was though. Should be a good fly. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ChuckD 0 Report post Posted December 25, 2009 Hey Andy The redfish candy is a great fly. Make sure you put a weedguard on it if you use leadeyes. http://chemprof.tripod.com/redcandy.html Here's DC Wiggler a similar tie but seems to imitate a jerkbait it can be fished as a bottom bumper or baitfaish. Make sure you use long think feathers for the tail http://www.inshore-fishing.com/forum/index...&hl=wiggler Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
