Note: Angler and author Homer Rhodes came up with this fly in the 1930s. Originally tied for bonefish, it catches a wide variety of fresh- and saltwater fish, and is an indispensable pattern in any saltwater fly fisher's box. The author likes to tie it both in natural colors, especially all grizzly, and bright colors like red and white, red and yellow, and red and chartreuse.
