Tying the France Fly and France Fly 2.0 - One of the Most Productive Euro Nymphs in our Fly Box

One of the things we really enjoy about tying flies is the ability to make substitutions (usually because we don't have a material) or tweak an already existing winner. This video shows 3 Variations of a PMD France Fly.

Below are the recipes:

Hook: Jig Hook, size 14-16. https://www.discountflies.com/product...
