Galloup's Pearl Necklace - MFC Fly
Details
""This fly was designed in a way that would make a disco ball jealous. I don't very often 'flash' flies. But when I do... well, this one was kind of a statement. This thing is super flashy, all the way through. It's predominantly, for me, a bright day fly. But I've fished it on cloudy days and it still does well.
The Pearl Necklace was the first articulated streamer pattern I designed using UV Shimmer Fringe. This is a true reactionary fly yet has an incredible amount of realism. The flutter tail and life-like profile make it one of the best bright day flies I have used, but it has also worked really well in low light conditions, which is where the UV Shimmer Fringe comes into play.
The Pearl Necklace is a game changer for sure."
