Thread: Uni 8/0 Red Thread

Tying Instructions: Tie in conventional baitfish manner, only add all the EP fibres in thicker quantities to give this fly a 'fuller' look.
Make sure not to trim off too much when shaping the body. Some would say this fly is too bulky but I think it looks great the way it is. This fly being the exception for me...do remember sometimes less is more.
