Beautiful fly. Just perfect.
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.
hi chris,another great looking fly
best regards john
Here we are......Nandu frede!
long life to GFF
Thanks. It is actually one of Norewgian Erling Olsen's patterns.

Thank you for the information Martin. I\'m a big fan of C&F Design fly boxes and looking forward to see Scierra\'s models as well.
Was the problem on your side or our's?
Martin
Sorry - I was not able to post my photo!
Maybe later...

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.
Welcome to the forum. Welcome to GFF!

Thanks for the kind words!

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.
Everybody.
Thanks from me, the partners and all the contributors for those heartwarming words!
We too hope that the new forum will make GFF even better.
Again: thanks!

Excellent and most usefull site and now I hope the Forum will be also
Good lookin streamer, might have to try it for Bull Trout
Neat pattern, what fish did you design it for?
Good looking patterns. I like the contrast between the squirrel and claret.
I have been looking for a method to present flies that I tie. I will incorporate your suggestions with what I am already doing. Thank you.
