This rendition of the Flex Candy is Martha Vineyard tyer Ben Scott’s take on two classic Bob Pop patterns. The Flex Candy is a versatile pattern anywhere predatory fish are gorging on smaller baitfish like sand eels and silversides. Remember, the Flex Candy is a very customizable fly, so don’t be afraid to experiment or use what material you have on hand. For more information, check out Bob Popovic's book, Fleye Design.
