UV WHITE, Tandem Arctic Fox Trolling Fly #2
UV WHITE is the second most popular of my tandem trolling flies. In deep water lakes most bait fish when viewed from below are pearl white. This fly has UV Pearl flash to give it a halo underwater. You can customize this fly using permanent felt tip pens.
A common baitfish from California to the Rockies and into Canada is the mountain whitefish. This fly is an effective whitefish pattern in cold water areas across North America.
This fly is tied with a pair of #2 Gamakatsu plated hooks suitable for saltwater use. Rinse well in freshwater after use in the salt to maintain their durability.
Additional Info
These flies are tied with Arctic Fox fur. The reason I chose this material is first the texture. This fur is soft but tough. Fur is meant to protect an animal where as marabou is a feather which is dainty and meant for flight. I needed a tough material so that I could tie these on salt water hooks and have a fly that will stand up. Another reason is that the fur is white and can be dyed “hot “ colors. Give these flies a swim and I am sure you will be pleased with their action and durability.
