Brent's War Bird Tungsten Bead Head Soft Hackle Flies (12 pack)

I picked up a box of these because I liked the color. I caught a trout in the Uintah after about 10 minutes of fishing. This was only my second time fishing with a Tenkara rod so definitely still learning the technique.

I love the bead and soft reverse hackle. It sinks quickly, but you can still make it move easily because of the hackle. Depending on the time of day, this or a Mr. Rapidan has become my go-to fly for late season Virginia brooks and browns.

These catch fish.

Fished a small mountain lake in Montana recently. This lake is typically full of smaller size Artic Grayling and some cutthroat. I fished from my pontoon raft. After about an hour and minimal action. I switched to the War bird bead head. First time using this fly. The Grayling action was immediate and constant. Landed 40 of them and stopped. This fly clearly was the reason.

I ordered some of these this spring and Brent 's Warbirds are making my tenkara fishing super easy! They are great for casting in any riffle! I caught at least 30 brown trout with one of these flies last February in Wisconsin!
