Flatwing
Flatwing Baitfish
Subtle long baitfish
Sea bassSubsurface
Kenney Abrames-school flatwing — long, sparse, mobile. The fly to use when conventional baitfish patterns are getting refused.
Fish this when
Wary bass, slow tides, very clear water, or moonlit night fishing. The materials do the swimming on a slow strip.
Why it works
Sparse dressing means the fly never looks like a bait-shaped lump in the water. The long flatwing tail breathes naturally on the pause.
