Butt Monkey - Size #6 & #2 - Black, Olive, White, or White/Orange

The Butt Monkey is a streamer fly, a tantalizing imitation of a baitfish used primarily in the pursuit of large, predatory freshwater species. It's a fly designed to provoke an aggressive response from fish such as Brown Trout, Largemouth Bass, Northern Pike, and even Muskellunge.  The Butt Monkey features a long, flowing tail made from rabbit fur, and marabou feathers, which moves with a lifelike action in the water. The body is constructed from strips of rabbit fur which gives the fly a lot of natural movement. These strips are often palmered around the hook shank to create a bulky, pulsating profile that pushes water as the fly is retrieved. For added attraction, the Butt Monkey include strands of flash material dispersed throughout the body and tail. This flash mimics the shiny scales of a real fish and can catch the light, drawing attention from predators. The head of the Butt Monkey is weighted with lead wire wraps beneath the fur. This weight helps the fly to sink quickly
