Foxabou Baitfish

No comments yet

Borrowing from the craft fur minnow and other baitfish patterns, this version mixes arctic fox and marabou for profile and movement. The black and grey over copper provides a great look in a wide variety of water conditions. But, you can easily change the color combo to meet local needs.

This fly is tied on a wide gape streamer hook for sticking power and has a UV cure head over the eyes for extra durability and some sink weight. A simple pattern with only three body materials, it is as effective as it is easy to tie.

Materials
- Partridge Attitude streamer hook - http://www.partridge-of-redditch.co.uk/products/predator/singles/attitu…
- Lagurtun French flat braid
- Arctic Fox
- Marabou
- Stick on Eyes and UV Cure head

Long story longer

The Global FlyFisher has been online since the mid-90's and has been free to access for everybody since day one – and will stay free for as long as I run it.
But that doesn't mean that it's free to run.
It costs money to drive a large site like this.
See more details about what you can do to help in this blog post.

The Global FlyFisher was updated to a new publishing system early March 2025, and there may still be a few glitches while the last bits get fixed. If you meet anything that doesn't work, please let me know.
