Galloup's Peanut Envy Tutorial

HAPPY FRIDAY EVERYONE!

Our Friday fly this week is a personal favorite of mine, Kelly Galloup's Peanut Envy. As the name suggests, it was created as an ode to Russ Maddin's Circus Peanut. This is a fly that is easy to tie, uses materials you probably have and catches fish... what more could you ask for? With a large cone and some lead wraps up front this fly is great fold colder water when fish are more lethargic but still interested in a slower jigging retrieve.
