Tying a Mop Fly

Writer's picture: James GarrettsonJames Garrettson

Love them or hate them, mop flies work. A cream colored mop has become a staple when guiding the Chama river below El Vado reservoir. A robust cranefly population makes this fly a staple. At least thats what I tell myself to sleep at night fishing this atrocity.

Bead: 3.8mm Tungsten Slotted in White

Thread: UTC 70 Brown

Body: Piece of Mop from Rain X Mop Ball
