This fly, as the name implies, has a bit of weight on the front. The big cone and articulation gives it a great deal of movement and it fishes extremely well out of a raft in faster water. Short casts coupled with strip-1 second pause-strip-1 second pause-strip, will pull big trout and char out from the banks and from in front of the rocks. This pattern can also be tied in olive, white and natural rabbit strip.
Hook: Gamakatsu C14s size 2. The fly is tied on any standard streamer hook with the hook bend cut off. Attach the cut front hook to the stinger hook with 30lb backing material.
Thread: Black 8/0
Tail: Black magnum rabbit strip with the tip of the tail tied to the hook. Grizzly hackle, 1 on each side.
Collar: Palmered black rabbit strip followed by black UV ice dub
Throat: Red flashabou
Head: 3/8 oz Nickel cross-eyed cone
