The Bad Hair Day

The Bad Hair Day

The Bad Hair Day is one of my go to minnow flies.  This fly darts and dives and moves unlike any fly before.  This fly landed some of the largest Tarpon we hooked in Tabasco. Hook: Favorite Streamer Hook Tail: Craft Fur, Flash Body: Reverse Tied Craft Fur Keys to tying this fly: Make sure you leave a little of the under fur in the Craft Fur, it provides a little bulk giving this fly a little larger profile. Have fun with colors on this fly, don’t be afraid to try something unusual. DUN Magazi
