Avalon (Light) - Size 2
In Stock • Bozeman, MT
Description
The Avalon fly is a proven pattern specifically designed for targeting permit, particularly in the waters of Cuba where it originated. Its key feature is a monofilament loop keel with threaded with stainless steel beads, allowing the fly to ride hook point up and avoid snags while crawling along the bottom. Tied with a tan marabou body, rubber legs, and subtle flash, the Avalon mimics a large mantis shrimp, and has brought many permit to hand since its inception! It is featured as one of our Top 13 Permit Flies for Regions Around the World! The light version has smaller lead eyes that gives a lighter presentation – perfect for fishing in shallower waters.
