Turkey Tom

Time: Short Difficulty: Medium Season: All

Turkey is such an underutilized material in the fly-tying world. I think it is an absolute must. This soft hackle/wetfly is perfect for imitating emerging caddis or mayflies. It’s really used to imitate an emerging insect or a husk of an emerged insect. Whatever it is trying to imitate, one thing is certain, it’s an easy meal for a fish. I find myself fooling big fish with soft hackles more and more and I wouldn’t be caught dead without this pattern in my box. If you want this pattern, please reach out to ask about it!
