Une Création

We crank out some strange flies every now and then. Get an idea, dig through piles of materials and tie up a handful of slightly different flies, each one better than the previous one, but none of them really good. But sometimes one comes out OK.

Such a fly is Martin Joergensen's Création.

A simple Crazy Charlie and Gotcha style pattern aimed for winter sea run brown trout, but probably equally well suited for bonefish.
