Little Flounder Fly

24.jpg

Seriously, this pattern takes patience, but of course "Mystery Man" makes it look easy!  This is a great fly for use both in saltwater and freshwater, and the weight gets it down to the fish.  Have fun tying this one and be sure to let us know how they come out.  As always, I'd love to feature your own "Little Flounder" patterns on the "Trout and Feather" Facebook page.  Shoot me an email of your pics to share with others.  Again, thanks for this unique pattern, "Mystery Man!"
