Most of the spoon fly pattern recipes I've seen are too difficult and messy for me.

Example: [url=http://www.flyfishlouisiana.com/Spoon_fly_1.htm:abcbd]http://www.flyfishlouisiana.com/Spoon_fly_1.htm[/url:abcbd]

I like this Bullet Bob Spoon idea a little better (not quite as messy and uses holographic tape instead of stretched mylar tubing): [url=http://www.geocities.com/clinscott_pfl/BBspoon.html:abcbd]http://www.geocities.com/clinscott_pfl/BBspoon.html[/url:abcbd]

If you decide to coat the spoon fly with epoxy to make it durable, it would probably be best if you rotated the fly on a low rpm motor so that the fly body dries with the proper shape.

Best of luck.
