Renowned fly tier and fisherman, Stuart Foxall, is back with Jay Bartlett of Fly Fish Adventures to share another fly tying video featuring a favorite fly of Stuart’s, The Chartreuse Tiger Bunny. Stuart prefers to use this fly while fishing for Sea Run Trout in the Southern Hemisphere, but finds it equally as effective for Pacific Salmon and Steelhead.

Previous Fly Tying Fridays:
Looks like this fly tied in pink or purple would be good for Alaskan salmon. I may also try this for African tigerfish tied on a single, long shank #2 hook. Up until now, all of my flies for Africa have been baitfish forms tied with SF synthetics, but the rabbit zonker looks like an easier to tie alternative.
