Been transitioning from tying Steelhead flies to trout flies. This pattern is one developed by the late Jack Gartside titled "Fish Head". It utilizes a material called corsair to form the head of the fly. This particular color scheme Black and purple is very productive for steelhead however I have also had great success fishing Purple and black and purple for inland trout on a local tailwater. Hopefully in 2013 there will be some good days to fish streamers.

THAT'S COOL reminds me of ROBOCOP "utilizes a material called corsair to form the head of the fly" is the head soft or rigid/popper like ?

pretty neat and wiggly pattern! The purple grizzly looks nice and I'm interested in the head material. It's screaming for some googly eyes!

Great tie and cool fly. Looks like it's a good all around pattern too.

Guys I am glad you liked it..
Steve ezebody is the predecessor to corsair and yes until you epoxy it corsair is soft.
Brent I am a big fan of Grizzley hackle also especially for my salt water deceivers. Nick ordered the cape from Whiting for me. At the time I tied this fly I was too lazy to add the doll eyes. I think the real big doll eyes shine in dirty water as I feel the extra rattle noise they make is definitely a trigger.

Wylie, was it one of their bugger packs? eyes and rattle would be killer! that would make a good pike fly, too.

Hows the wiggle on that thing? It kind of resembles a wiggle minnow with a longer tail section.
Maybe it doesn't wiggle... but it should!
