Been putting this off but finally over half done. This is what everyone's getting. Ya'll now have no excuse to not go fishing when the rivers almost blown. A Vito/ strolis love child I like to swim in a big river of ours with big trouts.

This fly "was" nothing short of outstanding for me the past few years in high/off color water. Sadly by way of an extremely large fish with big teeth, large trout or just wear and tear it was retired this past weekend. Either way the back half of this fly is embedded in the jaw of the fish we never saw but buried a 9wt to the cork.
G... I'm going to need a dozen more of these ASAP!

Someone in the ‘belt go tell senyo his shit sucks for me please.
This really pleases me. I need to start fishing those colors more in said conditions..
General recipe:
With size 2 b10s- black marabou tail, lateral scale flash, chart schlappen, palmered to front over black dubbed body, small clump of reverse tied black artic fox, chart legs. Whip it
Link it to a medium fish skull shank. The most important step in this fly is to palmer some lead wire on this shank. The weight in the middle of the fly helps the back half keep momentum and t-bone itself when the deer hair head slows down the front half first. Marabou, chart schlappen palmered over black dub, reverse tied black fox, rubber legs. Whip
Connect to size 1 b10s with no room for beads. Clearly with something other than senyos bullshit. Marabou, chart schlappen through black dub, artic fox, chart legs, all while leaving 1/4-1/8 left for the head. Put a pair of chart medium eyes at the very front of hook. Use black deer hair for head, and make it kinda a mix between a zoo cougar and a drunk and disorderly head so your first strip it gets depth, and doesn’t just slide on the surface. You don’t have to spin in, just stack two clumps on top of the hook and one small clump on the bottom.
