Although this fly is ostensibly a redfish pattern, it is a great choice for all kinds of species where you will be fishing in grass, or around mangroves and other cover. Like most of Chico Fernandez's patterns, it's a straight forward tie, well thought out and very effective.

Long story longer

The Global FlyFisher has been online since the mid-90's and has been free to access for everybody since day one – and will stay free for as long as I run it.

See more details about what you can do to help in this blog post.

The Global FlyFisher was updated to a new publishing system early March 2025, and there may still be a few glitches while the last bits get fixed. If you meet anything that doesn't work, please let me know.
