This has "Secret Weapon" or "Guide Fly" written all over it. Looks effective, fast & easy to tie.

Great fly! Fished a 3 fly rig last Tuesday with the Holy Grail in the middle. Bottom fly 1 fish. Top fly 1 fish. Holy Grail in the middle10 or more

Thank you for this great and clear tutorial. My Holy Grail didn't look as good.

Nice tie,

 

I will have some of these for my next trout trip. They look awesome, when I'm hooking browns all my buddies will know is it's a nymph. Then when we are packing up the car to come home I'll give them each one. In a different color of course.smile.png
