The Black Death is a must-have fly pattern when fishing for Tarpon. Though it looks large and messy when dry, it slims down into a sleek-profile baitfish imitation in the water. Its light weight makes for a soft landing on water, crucial for these spooky fish. Another benefit of the slim profile is the large gape, making hookups more reliable, which is very important for these boney-mouthed monsters!
