Some Juicy Morsels

I saw a couple of flies the other day that caught my attention. First off, they are certainly not traditional looking ties. Secondly, I have yet to field test them, but they have the attributes I like to see in a wet fly -

  • Fast and easy to tie
  • Using a few, readily available materials
  • Sized to be easily cast
I know I will be tying some up and giving them some water time the next time I'm out -
