Green Glow Fly Baitfish/Crustacean Saltwater Hook : No.6 Gamagatzu bait keepers. Thread : Black. Body : Fluoro pink tube. Throat : Marabou. Eyes : Silver or gold bead chain.
Tying Instructions 1. slide tube onto hook and attach with thread. 2. tie in a small clump of marabou at eye of hook. 3. trim off and form a small head. 4. attach eyes and whip finish. 5. tie on and happy swoffing.
Fly Notes Attractor pattern. Barbs on the hook shank stop the tube from sliding down. Any color thread & throat marabou can be used. Black marabou is a good choice for night fishing. You can use lead dumbbell eyes if you want the fly to sink faster.
Fishing Notes Target species Bream. A jerky retrieve works best because it makes the marabou flicker a lot more giving the fly a better swimming action. By holding the fly under a fluoro light for a minute or two, or by using a camera flash, the pink tube will glow for enough time to get about two casts in. You can use this fly through the day and still get good results with it.
Location Notes Typical Bream haunts - oyster leases, rock outcrops, bridges, pylons.
Prey Notes Suggestive small baitfish & crustacean.
