About this fly
The Pink Thing Fly was developed by Graham White from Darwin in the Northern Territory back in the 80's based on the Whistler Fly Pattern. While the Pink Thing is a subsurface fly with either bead chain eyes or with dumbbell eyes; I felt that a Pink Thing could be incorporated into a popper or even a slider for my upcoming trip to Osceola Outback Adventures in Florida since some of the videos that I watched showed a lot of action on top water lures.
