About the Black Death

legendary salt water tier Stu Apte developed this pattern. Black Death is a well known tarpon fly that has an elongated tapered head design that provides little wind resistance on long casts. Black Death can be tied with different materials and slight variations. This recipe provides you with a long silhouette, good material movement/undulation, and keeps the fly extremely light weight. Black Death is a must have !!
