I have my own variant of a Christmas Fly with green/red and it is highly effective for spring brook trout here in Newfoundland. Your pattern is more elegant than mine and I can't wait to try it.

Danish Pastry Fly

Simple Fly: This fly recently changed its name from The Copper Camel to The Danish Pastry Fly for reasons that are revealed in the article. It's an efficient and simple pattern for sea trout, but is very likely to be just as able to catch bass, bonefish and many other species. See Martin Joergensen's pattern here.

Pictures: A few photos to give you an idea of how GFF partner Martin Joergensen spent his domestic fishing days in the first part of this year - primarily in pursuit of his beloved sea trout, but also out to get some pike and other species. See the pictures here.
