The Dock Is In

Submitted by @silvercrescentflyfishing

Incredible fly for fishing dock lights for snook, tarpon, and snapper. Try using copper krystal flash or using Living Eyes for other variants. Don't go too big - smaller usually works better at night on the dock lights!

Tying Instructions

  1. 1

    Tie in a pair of bead chain eyes about one eye length behind the eye of the hook

  2. 2

    Lay a thread base to the bend of the hook

  3. 3

    Dub the body with the Ice Dub. Leave a small gap between the body and the bead chain eyes to tie in your wing

  4. 4

    Tie in your wing of Steve Farrar Flash Blend. Cut it a little bit longer than the bend of the hook. Taper slightly if you prefer.

  5. 5

    Tie in 3 or 4 doubled over strands of Krystal Flash over the wing

  6. 6

    Continue dubbing over the snipped ends of the wing, and over the eyes in a figure eight pattern. The dubbing should go up to the eye of the hook.

  7. 7

    Whip finish, and optionally use UV Clear or your favorite head cement. You can also use a bodkin to pick out the body a little - it should be wiry!
