Micro Mallard Gamechanger: Relaxing Fly Tying

Mallard gamechangers are extraordinary flies that exhibit exceptionally organic movement, so I wanted to try a micro version! Flies like these come to life in the water, and the Fly Tester by @FlymenFishing is a great way to showcase them! It’s compact, and purpose-built to direct flow to test flies both in and on top of the water. Stick around to the end to watch this fly swim! 💙 Materials and tools are listed and linked below!
