The Mop fly is a simple fly to tie but very effective at catching multiple fish species. The body is made from short chenille pieces cut from a mop, thus the name. You can get them in many different colors so you can have flies to suit many fishing applications.
Note: Updated 05-24-2019 - in the video I mentioned that the Mop material comes in one size, I have discovered I am wrong. It can be found on various "mops" in smaller sizes in case you are looking to tie a smaller fly.
