We fished this fly and the Rabbit Fly – Gold at night in Great Lake with a very slow retrieve. Basically we used a hand twist figure eight at about 5 – 6 twists per minute. The takes would simply cause the fly to stop moving until we set the hook. A fancy option is to tie in jungle cock eyes at the head. |
