Egan's Blue Dart
Lance - November, 2021
We have had the Red Dart for years, but the Blue Dart is another verified fish catcher that you should definitely have in your box. Built on the same chassis as the Red Dart and the Purple Dart, the Blue Dart can be a great attractor to try if you want a bug that stands out from a normal bug. Our tip is to tie them with multiple different bead sizes to accommodate the type of fishing you are doing. Also, if you don't like to tie, we have 3 colors of Darts available in our shop! SHOP HERE. **I will warn you that these flies are extremely popular, and are frequently sold out. Another good reason to tie your own!
