"GoTo" Small Inshore Tuna Pattern

[Striper134]

Thread: Clear Ultra Fine Mono
Hook: Gamakatsu SC15 1/0
Materials: White Rabbit Strip, Flashabou Mirage Opal, Pearl Wing N Flash, Small Tape Eyes, Epoxy


This small pattern has worked great for me and clients in times when any pelagic fish that comes inshore might be real selective due to bait size or color. I've also noticed it works best when these fish are feeding on small bait that less than 1/2" in size like the small Peanut Bunker that have just invaded the local inshore waters. Overcast conditions in all white and when your fishing brighter conditions a more yellow or even olive seems to work great.

Nice looking fly! I'm sure it will get some serious action pretty soon if it hasn't already.

any other hook choices
i like the sc-15 but think it may be brittle for bones

Taken Tarpon to 100lbs on this brittle hook. The Gamie SC sewries hooks are great hooks in my opinion and they hold fish just fine. I know an albie or bone should will fine on this hook. Just a thought. If you use anything heavier the fly tends not to track well in the water.
