Turck's Tarantula

The Turck's Tarantula, created by Jackson Hole fishing guide Guy Turck in August 1990, is a versatile attractor pattern renowned for its effectiveness across various fishing conditions. Initially designed to improve upon the Madame X fly by enhancing buoyancy and visibility, the Tarantula features a spun deer hair head, rubber legs, and a white calf tail wing topped with Krystal Flash. Its public debut at the Jackson Hole One Fly Event in September 1990 resulted in a first-place finish, solidifying its reputation among anglers

Versatile Presentation: The Turck's Tarantula can be fished effectively using various techniques. While a dead drift is often successful, don't hesitate to twitch, skate, or strip the fly underwater to mimic the movement of different prey and trigger strikes.
