Learn how to tie the Rainbow Mole
Another one of my mash-up patterns; The form of Charlie Craven’s Mole Fly in the dressing of Lance Egan’s Rainbow Warrior. The answer to another of my “what if…?” questions. Four ingredients including the hook. What more needs to be said? I know you have the ingredients because you’re a serious angler that already fishes the Mole Fly and Rainbow Warrior and if you don’t yet fish those two patterns, well then, you’re welcome. Keep it simple, Sonny, and let the fish keep your lines tight.
