Ron,
The fly is a Blood Nosed Frede, and it's basically the same as The Grey Fred with the added benefit of a red front hackle or -- as here -- red dubbing over the eyes in stead of the grey marabou used for the regular pattern. Sometimes the marabou body dubbing is also mixed with or replaced with something brighter like synthetic Ice Dubbing.

Like the looks of this fly. Would like know more about it and how to dress it.
this is a terriffic searching pattern with applacations on many species of fish ,,, the rubber legs you metion,, any help on locating the material would be appreciated,,,thank you for shareing this this little wonder,,
what is the recipe for this fly exactly? it a really neat fly to tie and i am wondering what size of hook or type
CAN THIS BE USED IN ANY LOUGH FISHING FOR BROWN TROUT AND HOW LONG DOES THE LEADER HAVE TO BE
That's a good story about fishing. I like it.
Good luck!

[b:3468eb2f6c]I like to tweak... and came up with a few [i:3468eb2f6c]what if's[/i:3468eb2f6c]...
Jay set me up with a second shaft that sported a custom tilt-able "knuckle head"
that allows for a variable angle of attack...
the standard fuselage is attached to that...
add the jawz or tube fly conversion and away ya' go... NICE!
the classic "J" removed... [/b:3468eb2f6c]

[b:3468eb2f6c]'another "option"... the pedestal/desk stand attached to a curious wooden base
of my own choosing...
there are some interesting and affordable cutting boards out there on the cheap...
the stand will accept any standard vertical shaft without complaint...
I LIKE IT... A BUNCH ![/b:3468eb2f6c]

To all readers of our article
I mentioned the DUNCAN LOOP to connect the knoted leader to the fly line, thats WRONG we are using the PERFECTION LOOP because of its reliability and simplisity! !
Sorry for the misshap...

Thanks, i dont know where you heading to get Dorado, each particulare place requires different patterns and sizes ...just drop me a line on our Latitud Sur Angler page, we surely can work out something !
Saludos Heiko & Carolina
nice ! thanks for sharing and good luck with them. I will do some for Dorado s fishing !
What a great story. Brought back many memories of my Grandfather and I fishing for native rainbows on the stream that meandered along the property when I was a child.
The Brown Spinner looks like it would be very effective here, and so I see some tying for my weekend. Though my Grandfather has been gone for many years now, I think he'll be trying them out with me.
Hey Calros, great pattern, just waiting for Dicember to go to Colombia and give it a try, thanks for sharing..
Chao David
Hey guys, great pic and wonderful trip, I am originaly from the Colombia Amazonas, but live in Toronto, I wonder if you guys can help out with some fly patterns for dorados and peacocks... Chao David
I've been fly fishing the flats at Hickam pretty unsuccesfully here for about six months. I see lots of fish, but just don't have what they want I guess. Im new to fly fishing in general so Im probably doing something wrong. If any other newbies want to get together on a weekend to go fish the flats on O'ahu, let me know. I'd love to have someone to fumble through this with.
Playin' around with some acrylic and Farrar Blend...

Hi Martin. I thoroughly enjoyed reading your article, and managed to get a good few valuble tips, thanks! Especially about the flies!
Im heading over to Braurap with my uncle next mont for a long weekend of hopefully fantastic fishing, it is a bit late in the season i believe but the early mornings and evenings should be productive.
Thanks for great read!
Guys,
Kern spent some hours on the net and found out what he had on his fly tying desk. It is a rubber band used for making trinkets.
It is called Crystal tec and can be bought in kilometers here (or just 100 meters!) (the site is in Danish!).
The one used on Kern's Perfect Leo Shrimp is 0.5 mm.

I agree that flyfishing gear in general is overpriced, but it's a combination of what the traffic will bear, and volume. How many spinning reels are manufactured for each fly reel, ya reckon? I'm a machinist, and I know about CNC processes. You can make a million way cheaper per than you can make a thousand.
Hi, today I bought Pearl barred Sili Legs distributed by Veniard. It looks very interesting and do the job well.
Hello from Canada!! I love this article as it shows that you can fish anywhere in the world on a budget!! I have read the rules and regs about the land here and would like to make a solo attempt at this amazing lake soon this year, how could I get ahold of this land owner and stay on or get some kind of access with little $$?? or if anyone knows then send me an email! I would meet anyone somewhere close to there and fish with them aswell, Thank you soo much if you can help me with my dream!!!

Right on the nose with your rant Martin!
Fly reels are simple center pin reels that do not require micro fine machining except in the bearing. The best I have come across down here in New Zealand is all S/S of surgical quality. In this one the spool is bushed with 2 units which run on a shaft with lubricating grooves. Drag is a simple clicker backed up by an exposed rim and your finger or palm. The back and spool are of an alloy, what I do not know. There is no name on the reel and I bought it second hand about 10 years ago for the equivelent of $25.00 US. There is no sign of deteriation in that time and it has been well used and helped to account for many fine trout in the 2 to 4 kg range. Of course as an avid angler I own many rods and reels but this little gem is my pride and joy.
Wow!!! I saw a fella fishing a reverse spider on the water a while ago, and have been tying it as best I can (from memory) for maybe two or three years now..... It's an awesome cut throat fly, and now I have some great variation ideas!!! Thanks so much! I love this fly!!!!!!!!
