Fly of the Week 3/4/2013: Zonker

This is one of my favorite streamers for two reasons: A quick easy fly to tie and how effective it is. The zonker can be tied in many variations, but this is one of the easiest. It is great for all trout species and very effective for salmon as well. Great colors for zonker strips are olive, yellow, black, and grey but don't hesitate to mix it up.

Recipe:
  • Hook: 4x Streamer hook (#4 - #8)
  • Thread: 6/0 Black Uni Thread
  • Body: Olive Zonker Strip
  • Belly: Bill's Bodi Braid, Silver



Spring fishing will be here soon. This is a must have for the fly box!
