In the second video of the "series" I show you Galloup's Articulated Butt Monkey. This is one of my favorite flies in the Galloup line of big streamers. The materials allow movement within the fly without the fisherman imparting any movement at all. Most of the other flies in his line rely on the fisherman moving the fly to get their CRAZY awesome action--this fly can stand alone.....and when the fisherman 'does' start to move it, it basically comes alive as you will see in the underwater footage at the beginning of the video. I kind of want to give it a treat and pat it on the head like a dog.....
Again, without further ado....Galloup's Articulated Butt Monkey (full material list below)
