Low Fat Minnow - Ghost
Cheech - March 2025
The low-fat minnow has been a very well documented fly for us and has caught many species of fish both in the United States and around the world. Here are some links for older versions, but as time goes on, as we say, it is the good old days of fly tying, where better materials and better hooks are more and more available. While this is not a brand new fly, this is an update of one of our most famous and beloved, fly patterns with updated colors and materials. Enjoy this one and tie some up to match the colors you like to fish in your local waters.
