We’re back with a new fly tying tutorial and in this video, Ben Baxter shows us how to tie McCannel’s Neon Nightmare.
Umpqua Signature Fly Designer and Colorado fly fishing guide Matt McCannel created the Neon Nightmare to target picky tailwater trout. The combination of a slim, realistic profile and bright, stand-out colors make it a perfect fly for tailwater midge hatches throughout the winter and spring months. When it comes to simple and highly effective midge patterns, this is one to always keep in your fly box. Tie it in pink, orange or any color you choose.
