Description

This is a complete tying kit with all the materials required to tie 25 flies in this Red and Black Matuka fly pattern. Plus, there will be lots left over, so additional hooks can be added at a later date to get even more flies from these materials.

Like its name, the Matuku-style streamer originated in New Zealand. Unlike a traditional featherwing streamer, where the wing flows freely over the hook shank, the wing on a Matuku is attached to the body using the wraps of the wire or tinsel rib. This creates a sturdier fly that holds upright, like a sail, in the water column for a different profile and silhouette. The Red and Black Matuka is a classic pattern that has caught more fish than any fly fisher has ever had hot meals, so it makes sense to have some of these in your fly box for both rivers and lakes.

Included in this pack are the following :

Daiichi D2220 Hook – #8

Hareline India Hen Back – Black

UNI French Tinsel

UNI 8/0 Thread – Black

Medium Chenille – Red
