In this week’s episode of Tying Tuesdays, watch as Max ties the Peanut Envy! Kelly Galloup knows his way around the fly bench and has a methodology behind every material and technique used in his flies. The Peanut Envy is Kelly's tribute to Russ Madden's Circus Peanut. I switched a couple of things up, making this a pretty sweet little variation. I really like the color scheme in this particular fly, and the Flymen Co. Fish Skull adds some character to it. On my streamers, I think it is important to have some sort of eyes, flash, and I especially like the palmered marabou instead of the marabou just tied in.
