Nice and easy to tie! Going to make a couple of these today. Just curious if one hook alone is enough seeing as the fly is rather long. Won't that mean that there's a risk that the fish go for the body and completely miss the hook?
Nice colors on that one. Still following along every day.

What a great looking scud. Can I get the Chewee Skin material at you store?
Very Nice, I will try some of these patterns on the Triniti River in Quebec this summer for Sea Run Brookies. Very Nice tying job on all.
Pacres:
In a past life I had a small fly shop. One year I went to the dealer show in Denver and bought a box of 1000 (silent auction) Mustad Carrie Stevens size 2 10xl long hooks. I don't know the model number. I'd send you a couple if I had your address.

darren...there is no bio about Dan Despres in the current fly article of the greyhound.
i feel funny by myself!
Those Walleye look great, what a lovely fish.
Congrats on a good early spring fish, it is early autumn down here and things are starting to slow down.
All the best.

Bruno,
Thanks! We'll try to keep it that way in the future too.

I've been using this site for many years. In my opinion GFF is the best site for fly fishers in www :)
Gonzalo,
This particular fly was tied many years ago by my friend Nils Jorgensen who now lives in Iceland.
I can't remember the construction, but it seems fairly simple. The only really special thing is the huge propeller that Nils uses in front of the fly. You can see a closer image of the fly here. It seems like a fairly plain hair and synthetics fly with soime red in it and some large eyes...
Martin
Hi Martin, great article! I'd like to know more about this pattern you are using.
thanks a lot
Gonzalo
Thanks Don! Nice to see you here, and thank-you for the inspiration for many of the patterns.
the addition of the pointy red hackle (and of course the the tying skills), makes this one hell of a beautiful piece of art.
superior work bob.

… I have a small favor to ask.
Support the Global FlyFisher through several different channels, including PayPal.
The Global FlyFisher has been online since the mid-90's and has been free to access for everybody since day one – and will stay free for as long as I run it.
But that doesn't mean that it's free to run.
It costs money to drive a large site like this.
