Pond Boss Forums INTRO Questions & Observations PB Minnow fly

My apologies to all my PB Conference friends that I promised the PB Minnow/Aunt Lydia fly tyin’ demo, but it fizzled Saturday morning when Dave and Eric hid my tools and sent me home early…
It seems that I used up a months worth of energy on Saturday tying non-stop, take on all comers, pellet flies on Friday.

The PB Minnow in more of a fly tying technique than a pattern.
Simple materials are available from craft and home improvement stores, and only basic skills required – besides that, it’s a killer fly.

Below are pictures of basic PB Minnow/aka/Aunt Lydia fly, as well as photo of required materials.

Eric suggested the PB moniker which I thought was agood idea.

At some time I will follow with photos of basic steps, as well as “gussied-up” PB Minnow fly versions, with flash and spinners.

Have fun,

PB/Aunt Lydia Minnow fly

Photo Tying Instructions (Pardon my poor photograpy):









Above instructions should read:
Loop length of back/tail yarn UNDER HOOK EYE, bringing yarn tightly OVER BEAD CHAIN EYE, rearward to tie-off point….




I'll post a "Gussied-Up" PB/Aunt Lydia/$Gill version next...
