Tying Instructions: This is a thread body fly. It can be tied in various colors. The wing bucktail. I use "UV Knot Sense" for the epoxy look on the head. I found stick on eyes that happen to be glow in the dark. I put these on first and then give a coat of UV Knot Sense. I then hit it with the UV light and it hardens right up.
Presentation Tips: This fly is designed for panfish and bass.
