Gummy Minnow is a simple fly pattern that imitates a small baitfish. It is made of a flexible rubber called Sili Skin that has a texture much like Gummy Bear candy. To make the fly, you cut strips of Sili Skin, fold them over a threaded hook, add stick-on eyes, and trim the fly to look like a minnow. The fly is available in a wide range of colors from Chartreuse to Brown and is perfect for fooling Stripers eating small bait on the surface or Albies pushing schools of bait.
