About this fly
The Frenchie is essentially a bead head pheasant tail pattern with a dubbing hot spot some anglers will argue that the hot spot represents an egg while others claim it’s simply a color trigger. Whatever the reason, one thing is for sure: this pattern is likely to turn the feeding mechanism of any lethargic fish.
