Fulling Mill Millhouse Tarpon Toad Black Death

Use a leader in the 80-100 lb test range, depending on the size of the Tarpon you expect to encounter. The tippet should be fluorocarbon for increased stealth.

The Fulling Mill Millhouse Tarpon Toad Black Death is most effective in clear water conditions where Tarpon can easily see the fly.

Use a non-slip loop knot or an improved clinch knot to attach the fly to your leader. These knots maintain the fly's action and provide a secure connection.

Experiment with different retrieve speeds and strip lengths. A slow, steady retrieve often works well, but vary your presentation based on the fish's activity and feeding habits.

Rinse the fly with fresh water after use and allow it to dry completely. Store the fly in a dry fly box to prevent rust and maintain its shape.

The fly is tied on a 1/0 hook.

While effective in clear water, this fly may not be as effective in murky water. Consider using a fly with brighter colors or a larger profile in those conditions.

Try varying your retrieve speed and strip length. Check for local baitfish patterns and match your retrieve to the fish's feeding behavior. Check for any damage or fouling on the fly.

Ensure the fly is completely dry before use. Apply a small amount of floatant to the fly.

Replace the fly or use a hook file to sharpen the hook. Consider switching to a more durable hook if damage persists.
