Tying an (Almost) All Black Lunch Money


There are few streamers that I dig as much as Bennett's Lunch Money!  I have been throwing them for a little over a year and have caught smallmouth, largemough, and even channel cats on this fly.  I've tied them in baitfish, bluegill, and shad colors.  Recently, I had the idea to tie one in all black.  I decided a little red was in order to make the fly look a little more intimidating and this was the result.  I call the color scheme here, The Boogeyman color combo or Baba Yaga colors. If you have seen the first John Wick movie, you might bogey the reference.  If I were going to sell this thing, and I might, here would be the product description.

Now available for purchase, a Lunch Money variant that I refer to as Baba Yaga.  This fly is not The Boogyman.  It is the the one you send to catch The Boogeyman.  The one that lurks in the depths and terrorizes its prey.  In muddy or stained water, this fly will reveal itself to the specter that is chasing down baitfish in flooded waters.  While it's color will make it visible, it's action will announce its presence.  It's profile will push water and allow The Boogeyman to pinpoint its location.  If you want to catch The Boogeyman, then give Baba Yaga a full send!
