I like flies that catch fish! (Don't we all?) I like flies that are easy to tie and catch fish even more! That why I go pretty excited when I ran across a simple fly the other day that looks effective. I saw the fly on Facebook and it really caught my attention. It was tied on a jig hook, was white, and fuzzy. It was NOT a glow ball or egg imitation. I recognized the material immediately as the same stuff that I tie mega worms with. If you go to Hobby Lobby, you can find it in the yarn section and I think it is called baby blanked wool or something like that. Anyway, there was no tail and it appeared that the material had just been wrapped/palmered around the hook. I had to give this fly a shot!
I have to say, it looks like it will do well on Lake Taneycomo as well as our Missouri Trout Parks. It looks a little like a few things but not exactly like one thing. Alright fine, its going to look like fish guts in the water, but it could resemble other things too...maybe. I like flies like that are versatile! I think that makes them just fishy enough for a trout to eat just because it thinks it is supposed to. I did find that I needed to trim the material between the shank and the point to make sure that I could hook a fish it if bit. Other than that, it's about as easy as a San Juan worm! Good luck if you tie a few up and I wish you even better luck if you try it out on the water.
