Fly Of The Month

The Snake Charmer was designed by Kevin Price for Idylwilde flies. This fly kicks ass and I fish it a great deal for ditch pickles and pike. It also happens to be a good Gar fly although they tear it apart every time. Kevin is a hell of a tyer and has several other patterns worth checking out. You can find the specific pattern here.
