A fishing fly for catching a fish, comprising a folded rubber string core, one
or more materials surrounding the folded rubber string core form a pattern representative
of food available to the fish, and an eye formed by a continuous section of the
folded rubber string core extending from the one or more materials is provided.
The one or more materials may include thread, feathers, or beads. The core may
alternatively be metal, plastic, or unfolded rubber. A method of fishing using
the fishing fly is also provided. The method includes attaching a fly to a line
containing a hook at one end, the fly being attached at some distance from the
hook, placing the hook end of the line into a body of water to be fished, and retrieving
one or more fish caught on the hook.
