Clean and simple tie! This should work great for small tarpon in size 4 at night.

So simple but looks absolutely deadly!!this looks like the only fly you would ever need for fry feeders,thanks for sharing.

I tie one very similar w an olive back to simulate Great Lakes Emerald Shiners.. I will be investing in some of those hooks though. Great simple little tie 👍🏻

Nice straightforward tie that looks great. Thanks.

About 34 yrs ago a local salt legend introduced me to saltwater fly fishing his name was Carl Hanson, one of his patterns was a simple inverted hook with wrapped body of tinfoil and the body then wrapped in light mono with white buck tail , it was called the crystal minnow , it was so simple but so effective, but this pattern adds the flash and extra weight of the epoxy head to make it look more real , and after all that’s our job as a fisherman to deceive the fish into thinking it’s the real thing , ya I’ll be tying a hand full of these to add to my arsenal 👍🏼. Well done !

Wow! I've tied a similar fly for several years, call it the "guide fly" same basic profile, I use bucktail and a ep minnow head brush, can tie lots in a hurry and I always pull it out when nothing else is working! That's too cool you guys did this!

Love the look of that Mother of Pearl Ice Dub! And good ol’ white bucktail - there is no substitute. 😉 Love the simplicity of this fly, and it looks like one fish will want to eat.

I like it! I learned that little trick with the dubbing just now, looks good! Nice translucent veil effect 😎👍

Well the eye trick works really well until you get cocky 😂. Awesome fly, great video. Thanks Cheech!

Sweet lookin’ fly, Cheech! You’re one of the best! 👊🏽

Nice,straightforward tie. A real guide fly. Enjoyed seeing your technique for tying this fly and.... really like the Fidel look you're sporting. Thanks for the great video.

Great tie!!! I bet it would work just fine without eyes. Going to tie this fly. Thanks!!

Class looking fly definitely will try this out !!!

Great pattern. I will tie some up and try them. Thanks for sharing.

Look at you all coiffed! Lookin' great Cheech! Thanks for the video! Love you and your team! I don't run anywhere either! LOL!

I’ve been tying a very similar fly for quite a while. I put a little throat of hot pink Fluoro Fiber on mine. Works really well in the lakes I fish on big bows n browns.

Still sporting that “ CASTRO - LOOK “ Cheech! Thanks for the Pattern ✨🎣💫

never underestimate the Micro ,great eyes ,nice tye

Where I live sometimes the bonito feeds on tiny baitfish and they won’t eat anything except the smallest and slimmest fly. This might work, will give it a try.

Hermoso minnow, voy a probar para imitar los puyenes de los lagos donde pesco.

I put the dubbing first instead off the flash for a tail and wrap it in bucktail. Try it.

Si son muy efectivos

Sweet

¡Hola! En el limay sup fin de temporada, un dia nublado anduvo muuuuy bien

Nice

Nice fly! You know a alternative dubbing for the ripple ice dub? Best regards & tight lines from germany!

Good beach snook fly

With a little tweaking this could be a bay anchovy imitation for false albacore in New England. Thanks

The baby fat minnow kicks so much ass it’s not funny for a quick tie. Like this pattern, quick and easy.

great idea! should be a day-saver for smallies. "torture" yeah, i prefer "torment".

DP42 on the tag. Beeotch

Cheech's Micro Meenow has a good ring to it? Tight lines

Looks like a saltwater fly for fishing the surf

Hook and size?

What brand and model of vice is that? Looks great and I need to upgrade.

Like it..

can you just build up front with thred and paint eyes? thinking maybe last longer, what do you say. thx

Where do you get your jig head

Another Gartside pattern from 30 years ago.

Should have called it the fly fry

3:34 Kanye?

"micro minnow"? Oh please. It's a clauser.
