Re: Flies that need trying

Since I first read here about Borski’s it has been my favorite fly, although not as fast to tie as Clouser’s .
But! Just to throw out something different and very effective especially on sandy bottoms is an epoxy spoon fly. Some say it’s not a fly, but I tie it on a vice first using mono for the shape, tie on eyes, tail whatever, and then coat and shape the mono by moving/rolling fly using hemostats. You can use color or glitter in the epoxy or paint the underside. This way lighter and thinner than other methods.
