Beautifull flie Scott. A flie that sort of originates close to where i live in Denmark. The story goes, that Danish flytyer Per Karlsen met a bunch of Dutch flyfishers in Haderslev Fjord i Denmark. The Dutch fishermen came every year and caught a very nice amount of Seatrout, with a couple usually on the good side of 4kg (ca 9lbs). The majority of the fish was cautht on Hollænderen (The Dutchman). Guess Per copied it and made it "famous". Here is a link to a page with an example tied by Per Karlsen

A simple bucktail baitfish and a creek critter for the small stream bass near home.

 

 

Cream, Love both of those! I've been playing with the powder paints, on the pheasant bugger a few posts back, If you look close you can see it on the eyes.

 

Lots of great flies this month!

I usually get asked stuff like "can you tie me some of these?"

Even with the mistake of wrapping one loop of thread around the hook point, you still have the best looking scuds on the planet, Kimo.
