While eating dinner on Valentine’s Day my kid asked if we could tie a fly together, she picked the fly (a minnow) but wanted to tie a pink one. Wet it’s a pretty good rainbow minnow. Only problem is she got a little wild with the resin and a good amount got on the dubbing making the gape unusably tight.

Nothing feels better than tying a fly with your kid..... Except maybe catching a fish on that fly. I have a box full of my sons flies!

I've definitely blasted this all over the forum this past summer but her first fish and fly...

Wire Wrapped Copper/Brown Timber

Just enough weight to be hung from a dry, fished on a floater or my favorite, pulsated from a sink tip.

What’s the tail Zak?

Good question! It's a bit of zonker strip that was lying around on my desk, cut off from the hide. I think it is rabbit, but maybe squirrel? Here's the remaining piece:


I used the same stuff for collar, spun in a split thread dubbing loop.

Excuse the poor quality elk hair I used, my bad.

I don't think the fish will notice, really looks like a juicy bite to eat!
