How to tie a California Neil

Tying a California Neil Variation – By Noel Fox.

This video features Noel Fox tying a slight variation to the California Neil that was taught to him by his Uncle Bruce Fyfe. This colour combination is super effective for catching coho salmon in the rivers, in red for chum salmon in the rivers, and the same fly in blue is excellent for catching coho and pink salmon when beach fishing in the ocean.
