BLOODY MARIA
Jeff Ching’s Bloody Maria is one of the most effective patterns for targeting American Shad. This fly was developed on the American River in Sacramento, CA and can be swung, dead-drifted, jigged, twitched, and everything...
THE WELTERWEIGHT
DESCRIPTION
Big flies don’t have to be hard to cast. This winter steelhead pattern uses a technique to remove the rabbit hide from crosscut rabbit strips to give this fly a nice profile and plenty of movement, without being too heavy to cast all day!
