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 been looking for a method to present flies that I tie. I will incorporate your suggestions with what I am already doing. Thank you.
Thank you, the GFF Calibrate your digital camera was fatastic
I have found your flytying site very easy to navigate. and the tying instructions simple and easy to follow.
Keep up the good work
what a great fly! in Australia we call them prawns, (ignore the Paul Hogan "throw another shrimp on the BBQ), and I'm sure that with suitable colour changes, they will work here
8) I have been a fan of this site for a number of years and it is evident it flows out of apassion for ff
My sincere best wishes with the new forum.
It's also wonderful to be able to edit ones post especially when one maks luads of speging mistaks!
:wink:
Nice fly, but is that fly box from the new C&F style fly box range from Scierra?
An excellent web site indeed.
Recent threads are no longer visible in front page of the GFF site. Iââ¬â¢m afraid that the new Forum can go more or less unnoticed thoughââ¬Â¦
Steve, Thanks for sharing your hard work in leader calc. I am an engineer and it seems as if I am going to be plagued with being a detailed oriented person forever. I was inquiring this type of information form the local fly shops and it seems as if some do not appreciate the science behind it."just fish", they say! I understand the rational for stiffer material for butt and taper sections and softer for tippets. However it is unclear to me using your table exactly where the cutoff is. I plan on reading it once more as I may have missed it. But for now I wanted to send my thanks.
… I have a small favor to ask.
