Fly On The Water

Just got back from Alabama and the hybrid stripers were eating well.

This one crushed a Vortex Diver. You can see exactly where the fly ended up. Fish Barlas, so the release was clean and easy. The fly slid right out and the fish swam away.

The Vortex Diver has been one of my confidence patterns for years. The way it pops, pushes water, and dives is just different. Fish don’t expect it, they devour it.

Vortex divers are available on Etsy. Link in the comments.
