Brassie

Cheech - March 2024

If you are reading this you should check the comments for all the pros putting in jabs about filming such a simple fly, but they'll never see the trick to make the smoooooothest brassie body possible. The best part about the good ol brassie is that its super effective and can be tied in a wide array of colors! Regarding the durability of this fly, I've never had an issue with a fly like this coming unraveled if it's glued in the back like I did...
