The Action of the Mop Fly in the Water

One of the most frequent questions about Mop Flies is "how do you fish them?"  That will be covered in more detail in a future blog post, but for now, the short video above will illustrate the Mop Fly's action in various types of water. The first section is the fly in fast moving water; the second section is the fly in slow moving water; and the last section is the fly in still water with a jigging action. The Mop Fly is one of the more versatile flies that you can fish, and it can be effectively used with both a fly rod and a light spinning rod. This video is a sample of what the fish might see.
