Glass minnows are the wallpaper of the Gulf Coast food chain -- always there, always being eaten. This sparse, nearly transparent pattern matches the tiny silversides that cloud the shallows by the millions. It is the fly equivalent of whispering in a room full of people shouting. Sometimes subtlety is what makes the trout commit when flashier patterns get refused.
