Fly Tying: Predacious Fox
A year ago, I got my hands on some predator wrap. I immediately began working up some little baitfish patterns for swinging on the Missouri. My first outing met with promising results. After a few refinements, I’ve got a simple pattern that I'm really happy with and really like. As tiers may note, this pattern has been modified from the Foxee Clouser. I’m not ditching the Foxee, but this one is updated with some real fishy materials.
Our rivers in Montana have lots of small minnows: shiners, suckers, dace, whitefish and juvenile trout are common. While the Predacious Fox is a small minnow, it certainly represents more biomass than a midge. Drift it, swing it, strip it and find a predator.
