Craft Fur Reverse Tied Minnow - Underwater Footage! - Streamer Fly Tying Tutorial
Channel: McFly Angler
Date: 2016-11-11

These are basically a craft fur glass minnow tied in reverse, then the fibers are pulled backwards to create a spine along the back of the fly.  This raises the materials up a bit and helps keep the body fatter, while leaving the tail thin and flowing.  This is a great fly for a number of fish.  Tie it on a larger hook for large saltwater fish and freshwater pike,  tie it on a smaller hook for trout and panfish.  This size is great for freshwater bass, and many inshore saltwater species.
