Snook love to get tight to shoreline cover and ambush glass minnows. Sometimes they want topwater, sometimes they want subsurface, so why not give them an option? The weedguards on both flies allow for throwing these flies directly into cover without snagging, and the floating gurgler suspends the subsurface minnow.

I'm tying some for black bass, and I bet the white bass and wipers will smack this too. Thanks for the idea! I have looked all over the web for "WILD FLY FOAM 3mm, peacock" with NO success. Where is this purchased? Or are you using Chocklett's Loco Foam? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
