Tying the Puff Daddy Fishing Fly with Variations

The Puff Daddy is a go-to BWO emerger for many. One of the things we enjoy about tying is the ability to make small changes that we either want to test or that have proven to yield results. For instance, we like to tie this fly with a sparse CDC collar. We also like to add a bit of flash to the CDC collar, which can be done in several ways. We show two options in this video.

• Hook: We use a Firehole 320, sizes 18-22. That said, a Klink hook or a hook like the Kona BC3 is a better choice. https://www.discountflies.com/...
