This a a variation of a fly writen about in northwest fly tyer.

I tied this one for the winter steel but I believe it would produce in low clear water conditions as well.

Its a big hook that came from an old pattern that was given to me. The pattern was falling apart so i reused the hook.

pretty cool. sorta like a zonker minnow im sure it would work in low and clear water, too dark for me though i have confidence in brighter colors
