Brian Wise from Fly Fish the Ozarks ties Mike Schmidt’s Reaper.
“To end the Mike Schmidt series of flies, I bring you the Reaper. You may notice that this is NOT an articulated pattern…….but it is tied on a 8/0 Gama so I think that makes up for it. Admittedly….this is a slightly different version compared to Mike’s fly.” -Brian Wise

Nice fly, but 8/0? We use 2/0 and 3/0 for Tarpon here in Florida. What do you fish for that requires a hook that large? I didn’t know they had Marlin and Sailfish in the Ozarks.
