Perfect for anglers seeking a more refined and effective approach to attract discerning fish, this pattern is a game-changer in the world of fly fishing.
A Classy and Realistic Alternative
Charlie Craven's vision for the Big Fat Angie was to create a pattern that stands out in a sea of foam "balloon animals" commonly found in fly bins. By upsizing the traditional Angie and incorporating a double wing, this fly offers a more realistic silhouette that's both classy and irresistibly appealing to fish. It's the perfect replacement for anglers tired of the usual offerings and looking for something with a bit more finesse.
Unmatched Buoyancy and Movement
The Big Fat Angie distinguishes itself with double span flex legs and macramé yarn wings, adding both movement and an extensive surface area. This unique combination not only enhances the fly's realism but also its buoyancy, making it more effective on the water than other patterns. The chunky foam head allows for dynamic skating or twitching actions, inviting aggressive strikes without the risk of submerging.
Engineered for Perfect Presentation
With a design that sets the body low in the water, the Big Fat Angie adheres to the surface film, ensuring it remains a tempting target even in challenging conditions. The curved hook design further aids in this low-riding stance, providing a secure hold in the water and preventing the fly from being displaced by eager cutthroat or any other targeted species.

Available in size 10, this pattern is not just a fly; it's a testament to Craven's dedication to pushing the boundaries of fly tying and offering anglers a superior option for their topwater pursuits.
