This week’s Tying Tuesday options three patterns that aren’t targeted on imitation, however supply vibrant, enticing silhouettes that may make fish take discover. We kick issues off with a basic sample from Barry Ord Clarke, who walks you thru the steps for tying Lee Wulff’s legendary White Wulff. It’s simple to tie, simple to see, and floats effectively even in tough water. Subsequent up is one other easy, but efficient sample: a small, flashy streamer that may catch every part from bass to trout to catfish, in accordance with the tier. Lastly, Ian Anderson of Dressed Irons demonstrates his technique for making a crazy-looking frog sample that gives a ton of lifelike movement within the water. Be sure you’re stocked up of superglue earlier than you begin tying up a few of these!
