The Yendor Pinkie is a simple but effective saltwater streamer pattern created by Hastings Fly Fishers club member Rodney Adams, a keen saltwater fly fisherman with a particular passion for chasing luderick on fly.
Drawing inspiration from classic patterns such as the Clouser Minnow and Crazy Charlie, the Yendor Pinkie follows the same proven bonefish-fly principles, combining a streamlined profile with a touch of flash and colour.
Its contrasting white and bleeding-black SF Flash Blend, pink tubing body and bead chain or dumbbell eyes create an attractive, weighted pattern that is easy to tie and versatile in its application. A great example of a practical fly developed by a club member, with local saltwater fishing firmly in mind.
