Notes:

This fly is the 4th warmwater fly that I plan on using in my search for the hard to fine Redfin Pickerel. The redfin pickerel is a subspecies of freshwater fish belonging to the pike family. Not to be confused with its close relatives, the grass pickerel and the chain pickerel, this fish is unique in the fact that it has brightly colored red fins. Like all pikes, the redfin pickerel is an ambush predator, lying amongst thick vegetation in wait for smaller, more agile prey to enter within its range of attack.
