The Dock Is In
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!

-
1
Tie in a pair of bead chain eyes about one eye length behind the eye of the hook
-
2
Lay a thread base to the bend of the hook
-
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
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
Tie in 3 or 4 doubled over strands of Krystal Flash over the wing
-
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
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!
