This pattern came about from my last fishing video where I talked about my daughter and the daddy-daughter dates we always have on Taco Tuesdays. We started this tradition about 10 years ago when she was a bit younger and we’ve been doing it pretty much every week since. And now she is about to go off to college so these daddy daughter dates are going to be coming to an end pretty soon. Which is a bit sad for an old dad like me.
But I got a notable comment from Seth Goodwin who said, “You should just come up with a fly and call it the Taco Tuesday!” I thought that was a pretty cool idea so I told my daughter that I was going to come up with a fly and call it the Taco Tuesday.
I asked her what colors we should use and she said, “Obviously a yellow to maybe represent the cheese, or the shell. And then some brown for the meat.” She also said green for the lettuce, but try as I might, I couldn’t figure out how to work green into this pattern.
So, what I came up with is basically a yellow and brown Bi-visible (without a tail) but a wing of white calftail tied trude style. I think it turned out to be a pretty cool pattern. I have no idea how well it will fish but it was a fun one to tie.
