How to tie The Trip Saver
The Trip Saver has become on of ourfavorite flies to tie and to fish. This bug is super grabby, and the takes are explosive. This fly is super fun to tie because its not a size 20, and it fills the box as an attractor that covers a large variety of aquatic bugs. Get creative with differnt colored collars and body colors. Olive, Natural, and black are my favorite color options.
