Steve Flanagan demonstrates tying his Tuffleye Spoon Fly, a great fly for redfish on the Texas coast. He uses the Tuffleye acrylic material, a replacement for epoxy to shape the body.

Part 1 - Constructing the body and preparing the hook.

Filmed at the 2009 FFF Gulf Coast Conclave in Lake Charles, LA

  • Any special wire you are using for the weed guard? Ever try this fly for Northeast Stripers?

  • We'll have to see if Steve is watching this. I use titanium wire for my weedguards. They're difficult to bend but maintain their shape once set and are very flexible. The fly is designed to imitate a crab, so any fish that takes a crab should take a spoon fly.

  • what is the purpose of the alcohol pads

  • When the Tuffleye material cures, it leaves a tacky surface that is removed using alcohol. The pads are a convenient method of carrying the alcohol around when tying or when at the bench.
