GLASS MINNOW

Description

Glass Minnow fly fishing flies are highly effective baitfish imitations designed to replicate the translucent minnows that comprise a significant portion of the diet for many gamefish. With its slim, clear body accented by subtle flash, this fly perfectly imitates the shimmering, see-through profile of natural glass minnows in both saltwater and freshwater environments. They are all-purpose fishing flies that are effective almost anywhere

Tied with synthetic fibers, flash material, and durable epoxy or UV resin, the Glass Minnow has a semi-transparent body that reflects light at different angles, creating a lifelike baitfish appearance. Its weighted eyes help balance the fly while giving it a natural swimming action when stripped. The pattern’s simplicity is its strength, fooling fish that are keyed in on small, clear forage.

The Glass Minnow is especially deadly in saltwater when targeting snook, redfish, seatrout, tarpon, and striped bass. It’s also productive in freshwater for bass and trout feeding on small baitfish. Best fished on a floating or intermediate line with short, erratic strips, the Glass Minnow imitates the darting movement of fleeing minnows and often triggers aggressive strikes.
