This is a great all-around minnow fly that is perfect for many different situations.
I got the spark for this pattern from the “Surf Candy” fly design. With a few tweaks to the recipe I came up with this little fly that moves great and has the perfect look for hungry fish.
While big fish are still likely to eat this thing, it may be hard to keep the little ones off it first. Tossing this thing into the surf (or any body of water) with a 7wt is as fun as fun gets.

I’m Capt. Jesse Males, an avid fly fishing, snook snatching, kayak paddling, tarpon slaying, mountain hiking, manatee swimming fool from Central Florida. Over the years fly fishing has had a huge impact on my life and particularly on how I view the world we spend our time in. I am currently the owner and operator of backwaterflyfishing.com as well as our online fly shop, backwaterflies.com. The lifestyle that is called fly fishing has taken me to some amazing destinations and has provided me with some amazing experiences in the wild. From chasing big salty critters in the Florida Keys, to roosters in Coast Rica, to small wild trout in the Carolinas, and all the way up to the high mountain cutthroat of Wyoming; I have been blessed to experience fly fishing at its finest.
