Today’s Tying Tuesday includes 4 flies indicated to come down to where the fish are this time of year, whether you’re on a trout river or a tropical flat. We kick things off with a vibrant midget pattern that makes certain to get the attention of even the most slow trout. Then we have actually got a Soft Hackle variation of the Egg-Sucking Leech, which makes the most of the truth that the rivers have plenty of delicious eggs. Which is why you may likewise wish to connect a Nuke Egg, which is extremely basic and plenty heavy to come down in even quick currents. Lastly, we provide a cool shrimp pattern that provides a natural shape and a lot of action in the water.
