fly of the monthSpring is Coming!

Materials:

Name: Coldwater Candy
Hook: Tiemco 105 – sz’s 10-6
Thread: UTC –  GSP 100 white
Body: Tie on the hook in the following order:

  1. Fur from white rabbit zonker
  2. Angel hair – electric pink
  3. Fur from olive rabbit zonker

Flash: Krystal flash – smolt blue
Head: Fish Skull – Fish Mask #3

Coldwater Candy can be fished below indicators or straight-line nymphed  (aka chuck ‘n ducked). Don’t be afraid to mix up colors and materials in order to match the parr hatch in your favorite water! I like the Fish Masks. They make for a nice clean finish of the tie. Additionally, I use the Loon UV Clear Fly Finish – Thick to stick the mask and eyes on….both can be done with super glue!
