I'd have my anglers using something similar (fire tiger colors) in both the fresh and salty portion of the Everglades fairly often. What size, and total fly length?

Capt Bob LeMay 0 Report post Posted February 25 In the backcountry we use a variety of patterns in basic white as well as firetiger colors. Most are on hooks that range from a #2 to a 2/0 , occasionally a 3/0. Here's one bug on a 3/0 called the Razor cut mullet.. in basic white. almost all of our flies and bugs sport a wire weedguard as well for working heavy mangrove jungle shorelines... This sample is a bit less than four inches overall. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
