About the fly:

This Redfish fly checks all the boxes when it comes to big bull reds. This fly has a slightly larger size profile to produce the bites from larger fish in slightly off colored water. With tons of movement from the saddle tail and collar, this fly can product bites even from extremely spooky fish. Tied on the Mustad 68SAP, you don’t have to worry about bending hooks out.
