This week’s Tying Tuesday options three patterns that aren’t centered on imitation, however supply vibrant, engaging silhouettes that may make fish take discover. We kick issues off with a traditional sample from Barry Ord Clarke, who walks you thru the steps for tying Lee Wulff’s legendary White Wulff. It’s straightforward to tie, straightforward to see, and floats effectively even in tough water. Subsequent up is one other easy, but efficient sample: a small, flashy streamer that may catch all the pieces from bass to trout to catfish, based on the tier. Lastly, Ian Anderson of Dressed Irons demonstrates his methodology for making a crazy-looking frog sample that provides a ton of lifelike movement within the water. Ensure you’re stocked up of superglue earlier than you begin tying up a few of these!
