The spoon fly is a popular and effective fly for redfish on the flats. It is a surprisingly light fly that does well on the sands or over a grassy flat. It can be tied with a weed guard if necessary.

The Kingfisher Inn features a unique spoon pattern that is usually tied unweighted and all of the materials for this fly can be purchased there. 

It can be tied in a variety of colors, weighted or not, with mylar and epoxy for the body.   

When fished slowly the fly will flutter and spin to draw attention. For tying instructions and more information please refer to the articles below.
