Halfback
Tyer: Al Elliott

FISHING METHOD :Floating line with 10 -16 Ft leader. Use the count down method to get the fly just off the bottom. Use a slow to medium retrieve (4 - 8 inch steady strips) with a several quick 2 - 3 inch pulls every 30 - 40 seconds. Use the same retrieve for sinking lines. Try using this fly on the shoals during the evening. Trolling with a sink tip, full sink or floating line can be an effective method.
