From Gunnar:
“This is the final installment of the Beginner Predator Flies tying series. The Build-A-Beast program is a simple variation from Bob Popovics Beast Fleye combined with inspiration from Blane Chocklett’s Game Changer flies. The result is an extremely light, easy casting fly that is more accessible behind the vise with the ability to fine tune weight and silhouette after completion!”
