That velvet eel is one stupid looking fly. Works like crazy though. Here's a tip- Mix some water and bleach in a jar and bleach the velvet a little for a sort of creamy red/ peach color I see in many worms.

Bob try this. There is no need for specifics. the fly is so simple.

SORRY The pic came through but not the text.

fly is ultimately simple. Cut material to desired length. Cut the tail on an angle to give it a point. Super glue or what ever the angle cut on the tail together. Insert hook. best to wrap hook with some super thread. ( I like 254 SS )

Stick on eyes and gotcha. :bounce: :bounce:

Tie on lead eyes to the hook Clouser-style. Cut a slit down each side of the head end of the velved to stick the eyes through, then tie the velvet off in front of the eyes. Cut a slight angle on the tail and glue it, as someone already replied. Get one already constructed from North Cove Outfitters in Old Saybrook, CT. Brian Owens, who works there, invented the pattern. I found that black seems to work best. Works nicely on Cape Cod. Has anyone used it much in CT?

Bob,
