Iwai Minnow Sinking Edition – Imintation
This is a sinking edition of Iwai Minnow taught by Captain Shikanai of Pallas FGS. Normal edition use closed-cell foam to keep the fly floating high, but this one use yarn instead to reduce the buoyancy to keep it suspending. I tied this example for night fishing without any detail whatsoever, but it worked like a candy to sea perches feeding on bay anchovies. I compared this pattern with actual anchovy spilled out by perch, and they looked exactly the same when wet!
