Zonker with dumbbell resin eyes

No comments yet

This shows how I tie a Zonker fly it does not resemble the original pattern very closely but is tied in the Zonker style. My main aim in this video is to show how realistic eyes can be created using different coloured UV resins. Although I have billed this as this weeks river pattern I would use this fly with equal confidence of a Stillwater venue.

Since you got this far …


The GFF money box

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.
But that doesn't mean that it's free to run.
It costs money to drive a large site like this.
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.
