Thanks Will, As soon as the glue dried I took it and went fishing I noticed right away the tail was too long. I tore the marabou and trimmed the rabbit strip, and it worked fine. In fact its now retired to my hat. I dont know how many fish i raised but I caught 6 brown trout, one 23 inch 5 pounder. I'll put a TFF report up later

I am going to have to tie up a couple of your Ghost variations and try them out on Everitts Lake, the 'bows should like them on a quick retrieve.

 

Nice job, and good creative thinking.

Here is another version of this fly. I left off the fancy head and added some peacock herl for a topping. It adds to the fly, but I am wondering if the herl will wrap in the hook gap.

Say man!! This is the first time I've looked at these. Did you come up with this? Holy crap it's nasty!!! That's gotta breathe like crazy in the water. To me it seems like it would be deadlier than the original!!! Nice variation on a great classic. SWEET!!! Tight Lines!! -James D TB7

I have been tinkering with traditional patterns, trying to make them more effective for where I fish. so far so good. I have a couple more in mind

This fly caught me my biggest brown last year, about 5 pounds. I retired it into my hat. I tied simpler versions without a strike. I retied the fly and added some step by step instructions/photos. I used utc 140 thread, it is bigger and made a nasty head.

Nice fly, Daryn. Am about to tie up some marabou-winged Black Ghosts for a quick trip to Grand Lake Stream, Maine, this week, but will try out your variation after I get my hands on rabbit strips.

That is one sweet fly. An awesome variation for great fly, plus it helped to hook a few bruisers.

 

I can see that with purple on top and red on the bottom for steelies. Thanks for sharing!!

 

Hope you have some pics of your fish to make us drool!!

 

Can't wait tie some and fish some.

 

Cheers :headbang:
