In this week’s episode of Tying Tuesdays, watch as Max Pavel ties the Duracell! This fly is worth having a selection of different sizes in your box. Created by Craig McDonald the fly packs a punch. On the jig, this fly snags up less and plummets into the fish feeding zone quickly. Wet or dry this fly is super buggy. Try fishing it off a tag under an indicator, on your euro set up, or as the bottom fly in your nymph rig. The UV brown ice dub has a great look and needs to be at your bench to incorporate other fly patterns. This is a fairly simple fly and gets the job done often.
