Thread: Danville flat waxed nylon, 210 denier, pink Hook: Mustad S74SNP-DT 2XH/4XL size 6 long shank If you have any questions, you can email me at. Frankly, I don’t think the colored head really matters much for fishing, but they sure do look nice in the box. But you can tie it in any color combination and with any head color. In Florida I prefer pink and ginger in the Bahamas, pink and tan. In green, the Evolution is my go-to fly in Mexico and Belize. I’ve tested it everywhere I’ve fished, and it seldom fails to produce. The Evolution has superb action, is effective, and is relatively easy to tie. I thought the Evolution was an appropriate name, since it’s best described as a mashup of two existing patterns. E.Įventually I got the idea to combine the best aspects of Peterson’s Spawning Shrimp with the technical aspects of Branham’s fly-with a few personal touches. However, this fly does spin if stripped aggressively, so I stopped using it in Biscayne Bay in favor of Branham’s M. One of my favorite pattens for bonefish and permit is Peterson’s Spawning Shrimp. (Mother of Epoxy) Fly, which has proved itself deadly on permit. This concept is also the basis for the Bob Branham’s M. You’ll see this same concept manifest in a number of subsequent flats flies, including Del Brown’s Merkin, the Tarpon Toad (with which Andy Mill has won five Gold Cups), the Kwan Fly (for redfish), and most recently, Dave Skok’s Merkin Shrimp. The Toad landed softly, sank quickly, and refused to spin even when stripped aggressively. Spear used his Tasty Toad to target the large, spooky bonefish off Islamorada. It was perhaps legendary Keys guide Harry Spear who originated the very effective style of fly that sports a flat body, allowing for linear movement without spinning.
