Having a selection of general-purpose flies that work for a large range of species and cover the most number of fisheries makes a lot of sense. The RIO Playbate is one of these patterns. This fly is tied on a large stainless hook in order to make it useable in both fresh and salt, and comes in a variety of colors that will get everything from a giant trevally to a pike to bite. The broad profile stands out well in deeper saltwater fisheries, and have proven very successful for dorado, roosterfish, snook, and tarpon in particular. In our local waters we find this to be a very effective fly for stripers and bluefish.
