This pattern came from church actress, a well known angler and tier from American state. the first came from Jon Cave and is thought as Cave's thing.
You can tie with eyes or while not. Kirk's pattern doesn't use eyes or a tail. notwithstanding, this pattern ought to provide you with an honest plan the way to form Mylar with epoxy, not a straightforward task, even for skilled tiers. church contains a video of the method on YouTube. Watch it and learn. What's lost within the video is that the quantity of manhandling and shaping concerned within the ligature method. To tie this fly tying well, you've got to tie sharply however maintain exactness underneath the force of drying epoxy. It takes follow, however it's worthwhile.
I use this fly as a looking pattern and for tailing reds within the marsh grass of Northeast Everglade State. It works on trout similarly.
The reason behind its success is two-fold. One, fish can't appear to resist the flash; 2, it sinks slowly, thus it provides grass-dwelling reds an opportunity to ascertain it whereas they're feeding. Cave's pattern tends to induce adorned up within the grass a small amount a lot of. The Mylar spoon, as a result of it doesn't use lead eyes, tends to hold up within the grass less, a bonus since we'd all prefer to fish a lot of and not fret concerning fouling our fly.
