Electric Chicken Fly Step-by-Step:

Fishermen, or at least Fishing Lure marketing firms, have always been creative when it comes to naming new color variations for our favorite lures and flies. “Fire Tiger” crankbaits have been in the conventional angler’s box since I was a child. And for a brief while in my youth, the eloquently named “Brass Monkey Puke” was my grandfather’s go-to spoon color while trolling the finger lakes of Upstate New York.

Closer to home, the world of soft plastic baits has taken the reins with regards to “innovative” naming. Each year a new hot color combo hits the market with a clever new name, and, every once in a blue moon, they stick.

Such was the case with the Chartreuse and Pink combo known as “Electric Chicken.” A combination so effective that South Carolina guide Jack Brown’s fly rod adaptation has maintained the same name. Tied with dumbell eyes to impart a jigging action, this fly has proven effective on inshore species as its plastic counterpart.
