Post Eel Punt

Try an Eels punt fly. It is a traditional N.E. flatwing fly, plus it catches fish....sometimes BIG fish.

Eel Punt

Eagle Claw 253 NA shank 1X short
Black Thread
Long black saddle hackles

The first saddle you tye in should be short and stubby, to support the rest of the fly. After that you can keep tying saddles in making the fly as big or as small as you want (I've seen some of these flys as long as 18") The last feather is palmered up the shank of the fly and that's all there is to it.
