I think I'm going to have to try the bottom variation for Bull Trout here in BC. Are you using squirrel for the throat as well?

Beautiful fly. Just perfect. How many saddle hackles are in the wing?

That is one very nice looking streamer. I really like the way you tapered the body and the head is perfect in my opinion... whatever that is worth.
Hi Martin,
That is one nice looking fly, anything with seals fur in it is pretty well a sure thing. It looks like it would be a good fly for brookies over here on my side of the pond.
Thanks. It is actually one of Norewgian Erling Olsen's patterns.

Was the problem on your side or our's?

The fly was designed for sea trout and actually caught its first two trout this weekend. It is in essence a Juletræ (Christmas Tree) with a wing made from a zonker strip from seal. Looks great in the water.
And yes, the box is a Scierra box, which indeed is very similar to the C&F Design ones. Nice boxes, actually.

Sea trout, I guess! 8) In general you'll catch every predator on this fly. It reminds me of the "juletræ" - which I even use to catch pike.
I've enjoyed the information on this site for a few years now and have had many of the wallpapers up on my desktop. I particularly like the international flavor of this site and with the new forum, the sharing of info from all around the world should be great.
i catch sunfish like it aint nothin down here in florida!!!
Good lookin streamer, might have to try it for Bull Trout
Good looking patterns. I like the contrast between the squirrel and claret.
… I have a small favor to ask.
