The Angel Hair baitfish is one of the hottest East Coast saltwater fly patterns around. It’s a killer on striped bass and false albacore, but it’s also an excellent pattern for Pacific pelagic predators. This easy-to-tie fly is a killer baitfish imitation for any saltwater fly rod quarry.

That is a nice fly. I like the glass eyes. I have been tying the instent bait fish seen in the incredible Art Of Angling Journal valume 1 issue 2. Sadly this wonderfull magizene was discuntinuded after about 4 years. consider your self very lucky if you owne a few issues of it. You can buy Angelina Fibers(Angel Hair) realy cheap at Joggles.com, 1/2 ounce for $3.50, 35 c0l0rs to choose from. Happy tying every one!
