A Simple Micro Game Changer - The Fresh Water Flounder
This Micro Game Changer fly is tied flat (like a flounder) which creates a unique, dynamic and life-like motion in the water. When I designed this fly I wanted to be able to imitate either a dying minnow or swimming leech. Both have unique motions and they each swim erratically. This platform gives you the ability to mimic those movements. Primarily I fish this two ways, first on a floating fly line with a long mono leader (10+ ft.) and I also use this in the Winter with a mono rig. Both are highly effective and give you the ability to manipulate the fly like crazy. You can also see it rides hook-up which in turn reduces the amount of time they end up snagged and lost. Personally this gives me more confidence to fish them in places where the trout, smallmouth and walleye like to forage, in the rocks!
In this video I will share my simple, step-by-step process that will give you the ability to tie any baitfish or leach in any color combo you like! I hope you enjoy the video!
