The Hidden Bulkhead Hollow Fleye is a lightweight, big profiled fly that is perfect for chasing Pike and Musky, as well as any large predatory gamefish. The Freestyle pattern is modeled after Bob Popovics Hollow Fly and finished with Popovics reverse Bulkhead Technique - Popovics has two fantastic tying resources: Pop Fleyes, and Fleye Design, which are highly recommended. This video focuses on the Hollow Fleye Technique of reverse tying, as well as the Hidden Bulkhead technique used to finish the head and create the proper silhouette and balance to the fly. Both techniques are excellent to know and have at the ready for tying up big predatory flies.
