In this week’s episode of Tying Tuesdays, watch as Max ties the Swing Thing! "This fly turns heads on the swing. The color combinations are endless and can be tied for many different species. I like to keep multiple sizes in my box that cater to the fishing scenario/conditions. Black, purple, and white are my favorite colors for trout with a hot cone-head in the mix. Something I meant to share in this video was tying this fly with rubber legs. Before adding in the collar of the rabbit you half rubber legs and tie in 6-8 legs so they completely sound the hook shank and extend to the trailer hook. Ideally, these complement the color scheme you are tying."
