C&F Design Fish Eye
This is a unique tank where you can observe floating flies from the fish’s point of view. You can float the fly in a water tank and observe how the fly floats through the mirror inside. You can observe both the outside of the fish window by looking at the mirror from the top of the tank and the inside of the fish window by looking from the side. It is C&F’s one and only item that is useful for verifying your new flies with a compact setting which does not get in the way on a tying desk.
Usage Tips
- If you use boiled, then cooled water or distilled water, bubbles are less likely to form and observation is clearer.
- If the water is left in place, water scale will adhere. After use, remove the water and let the tank dry.
- When not in use, it is recommended to close the lid to prevent dust and debris from entering.

This small tank is very helpful for checking fly floatation. I use it daily when tying new patterns. The mirror gives a clear view from both top and side. I prefer distilled water to avoid bubbles. Easy to clean and fits well on my workbench.

Great tool for verifying fly design. The mirror works well and shows how the fly moves in water. I noticed a bit of scale buildup after a few weeks, so I now rinse it out after each use.

I’ve used this for months and it’s still functioning well. The compact size is perfect for a small tying desk. The observation from both angles is accurate and useful for testing new flies.
