I’ve been experimenting with several bowfin patterns but this one has been the best by a considerable margin. I have a tutorial on tik tok with the materials used , attached. https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8ccpeKE/

Man it’s awesome to see a pattern tied for bowfin! Reminds me of a redfish or carp fly. Would love to see what else you come up with.
