Today Bruce Barry joins us at the Caddis Fly Store to connect a staple fly in every saltwater fly angler’s box. A variation on a Christmas Island Unique he got from his preferred guide there, this fly is easy to connect, needs couple of products, and is definitely lethal. Connect some up, book a journey to the salt, and have at it.
Justin and I got to talk with Bruce for some time after he ended up connecting the flies, and it actually appears like this is among the most flexible saltwater flies you can put in your travel box. He spoke extremely extremely of the guide from Christmas Island who he connected the fly with throughout his last journey down there, and Ekis swears by the fly. I’ll absolutely be whipping some up myself for future saltwater journeys!
