Timm's Beach Butterfly (Uploaded from: Timm Tews)
Check out this awesome surf fly created by Timm Tews. The fly above is my best attempt at tying it. Timm, a master tier, uses tan chenille on the head. It has caught more species of surf fish than any other fly I know. I'm not real sure what it imitates, maybe a baby octopus? Who cares! it really works great. If I only had one fly to use...?
