The Helm's Panfish Predator is Chris Helm's take on a productive Skip Morris fly called the Predator. This version is tied to target panfish on topwater. It is a fun fly to tie and fishing it is as easy as casting it out and letting it sit still with an occasional twitch. It is a great looking bug that the panfish just love. - Enjoy
If you have any questions about the tying of this fly feel free to let me know in the comments below.
