Captain Gene Quigley’s Baby Angel. This fly took the fly fishing scene by storm last season and was featured in the March/April edition of Fly Fishing in Saltwaters Magazine.
This peanut bunker imitation is tied with all angel hair and matches the baits profile exactly. As the fly is stripped through the water the reflecting properties of the angel hair scatters light in all directions. This is really an eye-catcher for the bass. The other enticing property about this material is that it undulates when retrieved. This motion nicely imitates the fluttering tail of a scattering bait.
For fly colors white is of key importance at this time. All your flies should have a large mix of it tied in. This can be blended with silver, pearl, or other light hues that will reflect and scatter light.
