I saw a picture of Billy Gibbons from ZZ Top wearing a hat that made me think of MOP Flies. Sometimes obnoxious attractor flies " get the job done." I remember borrowing a MOP fly from my buddy Larry when we were at Bullshead Reservoir many years ago. I had an amazing day as did Larry! The flies when wet move in a very enticing way. Some say the olive or black version could be a dragon nymph. What I do know is that they work. All you have to do is head over to Canadian Tire and get a glove with all of those cool little fingers on it in the car wash section! Cut off the little fingers from the glove or towel, tie on a hook then add some dubbing or fritz at the bead and voila a MOP Fly! Crazy! I wonder if Billy Gibbons like to fly fish?
