About this fly
I wanted to build a Fly that would float well. So far putting together what I call a Pheasant Tail Red Wasp is working well for Bluegill in South Alabama. This Fly would most likely fall into the Catskill Dry Flies category I would think. These can be tied from a size 6 all the way down to a size 14.
What the Pheasant Tail Red Wasp imitates
- Bee / Wasp (adult)
- Terrestrial (other: bees, flies, dung/hawthorn) (adult)
Inside the vault every material on this fly opens to its own card, and you can save the fly to your own boxes.
