Fly Fish Food - Baby Fat Minnow

If you haven't spent any time on Fly Fish Food's website you need to drop what you are doing and get there now.  I tied a few of these tiny minnows for trout, but used the techniques to tie up larger minnows.  Simple and killer.

Fly Fish Food has kits available online, can't get any easier.

Here is a great pattern by Kevin Feenstra at Feenstra Outdoors from up in Michigan.  This is listed as a steelhead pattern, but I have caught crappies and smallies galore with it.  Super simple to tie and easy to cast this is one of my new favorites.
