Furry Baitfish

This is another very simple pattern. It is tied in three major steps and can be tied very quickly but it works. Its a lot like a clouser and Im not going to say that this is a super new/original pattern because its not, but it works, and its quick and easy to tie so I thought I would share. 

Hook: Size 6 Daiichi 

Thread: Ultra thread

Materials: dumbbell eyes, arctic fox tail (could also use craft fur), polar chennile

Tools: vise, bobbin, whip finish tool, scissors

Step 1: tie in dumbbell eyes at the very front of the fly. Tie in a pinch of arctic for as a tail in the rear of the fly. Tie in a piece of polar chennile

Step 2: Wrap polar chennile towards the front of the fly making sure fibers lay back and not straight up. Tie off behind the eyes.

Step 3: tie in a pinch of arctic fox on the top and another on the bottom of the fly. Make sure the darker color is on the opposite side of the dumbbell eyes. Whip finish and apply head cement.
