Oh my goodness, the fly is killer looking. The colors, and choices of materials blew me away. LOVE IT.
Donald,
The hook is a #01-3/0 Tiemco 600SP. You can see all materials - and buy them - on the pattern page on In The Riffle's web site.

Well it's been finalised, our choice has gone for Mors in Limfjorden. As you say Martin, it doesn't see much fishing pressure and by all accounts, we've got a good chance of seeing some action!
It's only 2 hours from Hirtsals for us, thus we've more time on the water. Whether this be the right chance, well only time will tell.
What flies are a must here? Now I've got a good selection from Norway, but just wonder which I just must have, that I haven't got already?!
The original wet fly, is most often seen dressed with jungle cock cheeks & a seals fur body as well as several other differences. The cheeks were thought to have added to it's "killing" abilities by quite a bit in most cases. I don't know if it would make a difference on this version though.
Thanks for the extra insight. I was thinking it would look cool with some JC in the eye.
… 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.
