Description
We're starting a brand-new fly-tying series, and this month we're focusing on worms and grubs!
First up is this incredibly realistic Maggot Fly, a pattern I learned from my friend over at The Fly Smith.
What makes this fly so interesting is its body, which is created using thin strips of latex.
By overlapping the latex as it's wrapped around the hook, you can create raised segments that look remarkably similar to those on a real maggot.
And because the latex is slightly translucent, you can add colors and markings underneath that show through the finished body, making the imitation look even more realistic.
It's a fairly simple pattern to tie once you get the technique down, and maggot imitations can be effective for a wide variety of fish species.
I'll show you exactly how to tie this pattern in Thursday's full tutorial, right here on McFly Angler!
Be sure to check out The Fly Smith as well. He's a talented fly tier who shares some excellent patterns and techniques.
Now you go catch some fish!
