Cold saltwater fly
Easy
- Start the thread close to the hook eye leaving a little space
- Tie in a small bunch of Polar bear (or white bucktail) about 4 times the length of the hook under the shank
- Tie in a small bunch of olive bucktail slightly longer on top of the shank
- Top with a couple of peacock herl
- Attach Fleye Foils to the side of the fly, making sure the small protrusion on the foil flushes with the bare shank right behind the hook eye
- Catch these protrusions with the thread
- Cover and build a small head
- Whip finish and cut thread
- Pull back materials tightly and cover fly front and foils with a UV resin such as Bug-Bond
- Distribute the resin to form a slender body
- Harden with UV light
