Fly Tying: How to Tie EP Fibre Baitfish Patterns
Tying flies in preparation for a quick jaunt down to Tarponville in a few weeks has reminded me how much I love tying with EP Fibre (or “fiber”, for our friends south of the border!). EP fibre, whether tied in a brush or loose strands, makes it super easy to create great baitfish patterns that offer great translucency.
EP minnows and baitfish can be tied in a variety of sizes and colours for all sorts of species from trout and salmon to GT’s and Tarpon. The fly in this step-by-step is tied for Tarpon, but can easily be scaled down and fished for rainbows and bull trout.
