"This pattern is an easy one to tie, and follows the "GISS" mentality by giving the fish the "General Impression of Size and Shape." There are many revisions that can be made to the fly, including changing the color and weight, hence making it an effective one regardless of the style water being fished.

The pattern is featuring the S402BL hooks from Allen Fly Fishing, which are becoming some of my "go-to" hooks for streamer patterns and those requiring a heavier hook, such as this one" - Tim
