It looks heavy but actually it is bloody light. The Ostrich and peacock herl feathers combined with the schlappen tied over a couple of clumps of bucktail have give this fly a lot of volume for practically bugger all weight.
The only real noticable weight to this fly is the fishskull head I added.
All the main feathers have been tied on splayed outwards on both the main hook and the tandem rig. There's some gold fine tinsel as well as some Orange FFF Flash in between everything and the trailing rig also has a couple of black barred orange rabbit zonkers tied on for extra movement in the back of the fly.
Total length 12" inches long. Click images for larger view.
