Tying a Fly To Mimmic Shoal Bass

A Note from Leighton Phillips (@fatbuffaloflies):

“I had been seeing a few multi fish/umbrella rigs from different people I follow and following a literal fever dream (where I dreamt about this fly).

I decided to try and design and tie it. I have since simplified the design and it fishes really well on light to medium tackle.

There has been a lot of interest from sea anglers and disciplines beyond fly fishing for this one so ill probably make some more variations.”
