Posh Monkey

No comments yet

In this video, Alex Belonga shows you exactly how to tie his most effective flies - the Posh Monkey. Simple, high contrast, and deadly in clear water, this pattern has become a go-to choice for targeting big steelhead and salmon.

This pattern is versatile and will no doubt prove effective for salmon, sea trout, and steelhead – fish that are often triggered by subtle motion and natural-looking silhouettes. Whether you’re swinging flies in a big river or targeting sea-run browns along the small rivers, this design is a strong addition to your fly box.

In this tutorial, you’ll learn:
• Step-by-step tying process
• Key materials and setup
• Tips to improve movement and durability

… I have a small favor to ask.

Long story short

Support the Global FlyFisher through several different channels, including PayPal.

Long story longer

The Global FlyFisher has been online since the mid-90's and has been free to access for everybody since day one – and will stay free for as long as I run it.
But that doesn't mean that it's free to run.
It costs money to drive a large site like this.
