Hi Def Baetis

[@krallmi48]

Thanks, Juan. Mike

[@michaelsmith7193]

🔥🔥🔥 as always Juan!!!!

[@HopperJuan]

Thank you for that comment! It’s appreciated.

Top wie immer

Nice pattern! Thanks for the description of when & why you use this, too! That's helpful. Particularly when we all know you have dozens of Jedi Master Baetis in your box that look like they're about to crawl away, it makes me wonder when and why you'd use something else.

[@HopperJuan]

Ha! Yes, there’s always a time and place for every fly pattern. Do you ever wonder why Big dickhead flies catch fish when they shouldn’t? Or when fish eat marshmallows and corn over streamers? Having many options in your boxes is good.

[@jdigioia1130]

Appreciate the first line in the description. 😅 I almost always find the first wrap or two on a fly like this a challenge. Thanks for sharing! ✌🏻🎣

[@HopperJuan]

Yeah, I didn’t feel like redoing the video because I didn’t have enough time to do so!

[@jdigioia1130]

BTW, what is the size of the holographic tinsel you are using for the body - medium? Thanks!

[@nfri5108]

purple/black is a magic combo for saltwater and fresh...nicely done as usual Juan!

[@HopperJuan]

It is a great combo! Thanks!

[@hankremer6606]

What fly for salt with this combo?

[@nfri5108]

[@nfri5108]

but the color combo also works great for marlin and wahoo with islander and other trolling lures

[@KamArte-x4d]

Excellent!

[@HopperJuan]

Many thanks!

[@EduardoGonzalez-gg9pe]

[@HopperJuan]

[@dankochanek8056]

[@HopperJuan]

@@dankochanek8056 I hope so too! See you there!
