Learn how to tie the Peach Bomb
This heavy-weight fly is a solid sinker! With it’s tungsten jig-back bead, it’s a solid fly for deeper water when you need that additional weight to get down fast. Tying this fly up is super easy, the jig-back bead does a lot of work building up a lot of the body taper for you. The tricky part of this fly, is the bead can be slippery as you are laying down thread; so use some Solarez Bone Dry to create a sticky section near the tail so you can get solid touching wraps.
