What is a “Hot Butt” fly? Well, it’s just a normal pattern with some kind of red yarn tied into the butt portion of the fly, and on some days that yarn can make all the difference in the world. I remember such a time when I was fishing at Ralph Clark Regional Park and a Bluegill got me caught up on a snag and broke off my Caddis. So, I went to a Hot Butt Caddis of the same tan coloring (it was the next fly over and the Caddis seamed to be working well that day). What a decision, the Panfish went crazy and I caught about 75-100 fish with a couple of hours. It just goes to show you that little changes can make a big difference in fly fishing!
