Flu Shot Sizes 4-8
Olive/Black, Yellow/Black, Orange/Black
This fly is either the "Flu Shot" or the " Phillipe's Flu Shot" depending on how you want to go about recognizing it. Either way works here at the shop. The Flu Shot is a good, all around and buggy looking streamer. I guess buggy is not really an appropriate description since it looks more fishy than buggy, but now we're splitting hairs. If you show up at a lake or river and the first thing you do is pull out your streamer box, I sure hope you have a few of these in various colors. It's a heavy fly, tied in the round and offers a good jiggy motion that entices fish. The hook is short shanked, so it has good fish retention properties and it has loads of movement with the various materials it's tied with.
The thing we like about this fly is its versatility. You can throw it into structure for smallies, dredge deep for browns, kick around the lake for big rainbows, or even twitch it for carp. In the larger sizes you might be able to entice a coho or steelhead. You just never know with this fly- it's awesome!
