I know I've seen the idea for this patterns somewhere on the InterWebs, so I took the basic idea and made some slight additions to it and hopefully make it delectable for the usual suspects -- snook, tarpon, trout, reds, etc ... What I like about this design is that it creates a silhouette of a baitfish, but keeps the material down and thus makes the fly easier to cast. The body (I used estaz) at the nose of the fly is larger-- taller-- than normal; it makes the craft fur move up and over the body, yet it does not cover the entire hook shank. I've created a Version 1,2, and 3. The first (top) has nothing in the middle, the second (middle) has just two pieces of large flash, and the third has the lightest bit of dubbing stretched as a tail along with the flash. I want to keep experimenting with the middle materials, keeping it as sparse as possible but still giving it "something" there .... I'm calling it a "Sea-Thu". Tell me what you think .... and if you remember who originated, happy to give them the credit. AP
