| Tarpon Bunny
This is a very simple and effective tarpon fly. With the rabbit fur you can get a lot of "movement" from the fly with out a lot of forward travel.. Dance this in front of a tarpon and you will get the tarpons attention.

| Creamsicle
This shark fly has a white head, which makes it easier to track in the water. Hint: Sharks see better to the side then straight ahead. Sharks have an exceptional sense of smell and they can detect real from fake better then some of the other fish we target... How ever they can be teased into eating a fly. Hooking a big shark on fly in shallow water is a riot!
Hook........Gamagakatsu SS-15 or any stout hook
Tail..........Bunny strip
Body.........Maribou
Head........Body Fur
