Spread Fleye

Step by step instructions for Bob Popovics' spread fly.  In this video I've tried to replicate the original pattern from the "Pop Fleyes" book, but using UV resin instead of epoxy.  This is a very effective fly for anything that eats baitfish and well worth trying  in both fresh and salt water.
