Easy tie redfish flies
Posted: Tue Nov 01, 2011 1:13 pm
Here are a couple of flies I recently tied for redfish. I like patterns that are quick to tie; these only take 2-3 min.
First two pics are the same fly, just different colors and a slighly different material for the body. Tails are EP fiber, the body is hackle fiber. Bead chain eyes.
The other one ...
This is a shrimp pattern where I was trying to immitate a DOA shrimp, but shrimp is fleeing backwards ....
Extra long shank hook, bent to a bendback. Wire on botton to help orient hook upright. Mono eyes, then used EP Fiber Brush to make the body ....
Enjoy!
