The “White Thing” is a simplified version of the Pink Thing, another great Aussie fly. The White Thing has earned a place in my fly box it’s a great Barra producer on the beach, it has an excellent hook up rate with the hook riding under the fly. I also tied the fly using lead eyes of varied sizes to weight the fly’s according to the depth of water to be fished.
As most of my fly tying, I like to use the KISS principal, Kept It Simple Stupid. Being a guide out in the sticks, I normally need to make many flies fast and with basic material.
