Black Death Fly

From teenage tarpon in a slow-moving canal to the beasts that hang out in channels, the Black Death Fly is a successful bet for almost any tarpon scenario. The Black Death Fly was tied to fool one of the toughest species around and is made to move in the water and create seductive pulses. Taking color inspiration from tried-and-true tarpon catchers and utilizing materials with natural movement, the Black Death Fly combines black and red hackle feathers with marabou that breathes in the water, whether you are stripping the fly back to you or it is sitting stationary in the current.

The Black Death Fly has a baitfish profile and movement, but it is more of an attractor pattern, which means it is a great choice when blind casting to spots that you know hold fish. A large fly that sheds water quickly and easily, the Black Death Fly can be thrown in a variety of environments, such as the open beach, deep flats, channels, tidal estuaries, inlets, and river mouths. A classic pattern that just flat out works, the Black Death is a necessary part of any tarpon trip.
