The Gummy Minnow is the haiku of fly tying -- stripped down to the absolute essentials and somehow more powerful for it. A wisp of flash, a pair of eyes, a coat of epoxy. That is it. That is the whole fly. And yet it catches fish with an efficiency that makes more complex patterns look like they are trying too hard. Some things do not need to be complicated. This is one of them.
