How to Tie a SWF Big Tasty Plus

The Big Tasty is my Goto Fly. I have caught more fish using a Big Tasty than any other fly in my box. It does not mater weather I am fishing the Florida Backcountry for Snook and Tarpon or a still water lake in Sweden for Rainbow Trout, the Big Tasty gets it done. I tie this fly in every size and color, weighted and unweighted. It is perfect for swinging on a stream or casting and stripping over a grass flat. Fish see it and attack it. If I was only allowed to have one fly for the rest of my life it would be the Big Tasty.

The fish agree. I learned to tie the Big Tasty about 30 years ago, when I met my wife's brother and I often joke that learning this pattern is the best thing that came from us getting together. He had learned the pattern from friends in Sweden and they used it chasing Browns, Rainbows and Char. For decades we called it our Marabou Fly. I was living in South Florida and chasing inshore saltwater fish. Both of us sharing story after story of new personal best fish. About 10 years ago I moved to Sweden so that my wife could take care of her elderly parents but the Big Tasty remained my mst productive fly. Then one summer my best friend from Florida came for a visit and we took a 6 week fishing trip to Norway and Northern Sweden and caught so many fish and were having such a great itme that the name Big Tasty was born. There are dozens of videos on Marabou Streamers. Marabou is a great tying material but I really think that removing the stem and using the dubbing loop to attach the Marabou makes this version really durable. Thanks for watching and good luck catching, SWF.
