Daniel,
Theoretically the fish could go for the "body" or the "tail" of the fly and miss the hook, but flatwings and US saltwater flies built on the same principle - short hook, long body - have worked well for ages and actually work well for seatrout too. This fly still has to lay down a serious track record before I stick my neck out 100% for it, but I'm pretty sure that it will do fine. My biggest issue is actually that the tail/body has a tendency to wrap around the hook if you don't cast it gently. I troll it most of the time from my pontoon boat, so casting isn't the big problem.

I have been using several combinations as well and they all work very well for me in the right combinations of time water color and temperature. So all of your variations work as well under the right condiltions.
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?
Awesome!

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.

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.

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...

Hi Martin, great article! I'd like to know more about this pattern you are using.
thanks a lot
