CNY Fly Box: Fly Tying Series
by Matt Chapple


The Red Eztaz Nymph

This fly is an adaptation of many productive patterns I have read about or seen guys use on the Salmon River in New York. This fly has fooled many steelhead, both colored up fish and fresh fish, including this beautiful fish landed and released early winter 2008 on the Salmon River.
