Tied By Shannon Wood

Hook: Japan Hook #10

Materials: 2mm Craft foam, Life Cycle Nymph Dubbing Brown, Silver Gray rooster neck hackel, Hareline Deer Body Hair Orange, Ringneck Pheasant neck plumage

Notes:

The Alabama Paddle tail is a Fly that I have come up with to catch Shell cracker and Bluegill. Mainly a warm water dry fly for top water action. Bass of all different kinds will most likely hit these, especially Red eyed bass and Rock Bass in a steady flowing tail water stream.
