About the Wooly Mammoth Shad

This large baitifsh pattern is great for warmwater predatory fish when they are chasing schools of larger Shad and Herring in rivers and lakes. This fly is made of mostly bulky synthetic materials,that add lifelike motion to the fly even when the fly is hovering still, and when being retrieved the large wool head pushes a lot of water. This fly is unweighted, so it is best fished like a swim bait on a sink tip or sinking line.
