YARD SALE

The yard sale is a mostly synthetic fly with a feather tail. It is a fairly easy fly to cast as it doesn’t require a lot of material. The main action is a side-to-side walk the dog movement in still water or slower current. Creating this movement can take some practice. It is achieved by doing strong, long strips. This is important to get good energy into the fly, and the recovery after a long strip gives it the necessary pause for the fly to move to the side. The next strip should move the fly the opposite direction, creating the side-to-side movement. While it can be fished effectively with shorter, quicker strips, it really shines with strong, long strips. It also works well in current as the fly will turn to the side on the pause, but a consistent side-to-side action can be tough to maintain in medium/strong current.
