Notes:
I needed to seek out redemption on my initial attempt of a Gummy Minnow. My first attempt used Chocklett’s Sili Skin which only comes in one size. Doing some research I came across a similar material called Crystal Skin. This material comes in two sizes of thin and medium thickness. The color appears to be a lot brighter in my opinion. I’m not sure how the thin version will work but I’m very pleased with the medium Crystal Skin for this fly.
This is the reason for this Gummy Minnow I’m naming it the Redemption Gummy Minnow.
