Does anyone know what this fly is called?

Recommended Posts

Hi- I tied this fly about 3 years ago at one of those Free Fly Tying days at a local shop. I didn't really pick up tying at that time. Now that I am tying  I would like to try and find a youtube instruction video so I can try and tie it again. Its difficult because I don't even know what it is. It is the only articulated fly I have ever tried. Do any of you know what it is called or the name of something close to this?

Thank you

It looks like it might be a Super Jerk. https://www.bing.com/videos/search?q=super+jerk+fly&docid=607993341475881062&mid=6E89B8DB2415020443F36E89B8DB2415020443F3&view=detail&FORM=VIRE

Here is a link to an article on three articulated patterns: https://flymenfishingcompany.com/blogs/blog/47154625-3-articulated-streamer-fly-styles-that-simply-get-er-done  One of them looks close to yours and it talks about the "Jerk" patterns.

If you search for "articulated fly patterns" you'll get a bunch of hits.

I just received an offer for a book by Blane Chocklett called Game Changer: Tying Flies that Look & Swim Like the Real Thing.  These are tied on a series of shanks to create a spine.  Kind of the extreme articulated fly pattern.  

Pbass, take a look at these if you are interested in articulated patterns https://flymenfishingcompany.com/collections/the-blane-chocklett-signature-fly-collection
