Merriman's Tarpon Toad II - Umpqua Fly

This original version was designed by Gary Merriman using a bunny strip.  The Toad Too has the marabou tail. One of the two versions (bunny or marabou) is the very fly shown in the mouths of all tarpon in every magazine ad and has been the winning fly (especially when fished by Andy Mill) in more tournaments and is well known by every guide in tarpon–land. It is the hottest pattern of all time for tarpon in the Keys and beyond.
