About the fly:
Articulated flies can be simple, but they’re usually time consuming.
The time at the vise is worth it for the Finesse Changer, Blane Chocklett’s Game Changer tied with Finesse Chenille. This fly is flat out fun to fish, especially for snook, bass and trout.
The fly with all its movement triggers explosive eats.
The size 2/0 with 10mm spines here is middle of the road size. It’s not micro and it’s not large, it measures out to about 3.5″ long. Also it sheds water easily making it an easy casting Game Changer.
