Zonker from Richard Strolis on Vimeo.
To help grow our collection of fly tying videos we'll be featuring a new fly tying video every Friday night. Why Friday night? Well, I figured if you are looking to do some tying this weekend it might be nice to a have a new pattern to try out. Right? It is also a good time for me to write as the kids are in bed and I don't have to get up at the crack of dawn tomorrow!
Big Flies - Big Fish
This week's pattern come to us from Rich Stolis who ties some meaty flies and has a reputation for catching big trout, especially at night. Big fish like a good meal and this Zonker pattern fits the bill. Rich meticously takes us through constructing this highly effective inverted streamer pattern and includes a neat little trick to get those darn eyes to stay on right.
Rich Stolis is a self described fly-fishing fanatic who guides professionally on the Farmington River and Housatonic River in Connecticut. We've added Richard's contact information to our Connecticut Fly Fishing Guide. If you are interested in hooking up with some truly giant brown trout, give Richard a call.
Enjoy tying a few of these this weekend and be sure to check out our Fly Tying Video Gallery if you need a few more ideas!
