The flesh fly is probably one of the easiest flies to tie.  Great for a beginner, but a fly that all seasoned fly tiers and fishers should have in their box when fishing still water.  These flies are great for fishing trout in lakes, or even bass.  This fly will mimic a shad really well when tied in white, or a leech when tied in olive, black, and brown.  

This fly moves so nicely in the water, the rabbit strip will almost breath.  Make sure to tie the tail in the correct length.  Too long will foul on the hook, but too short will not move as well.  Its a balance.

Hook:  Mustad 3906B (size 10-1)

Material:  Rabbit zonker strip in white.  Cross cut strip will not give  you a great tail, just use the regular zonker.  

Thread:  Danville 6/0 in white
