Yeah I know what yer thinkin…
but this is the fly these Asp’s over here are crushing! I think it’ll do ok for trout and reds too and if you tie it in all black it’d probably be a deadly night fly. I have been night fishin evry night for a week or so now and SLAYIN these fish with this pattern… It is the same pattern that I caught the Beast on 
Here’s how ya tie it…
Kens Asp Crack… A how to tie guide…
Step one: Get your hook, I am using a size 1 bend back, well because I found a bag of hooks over here and they are about the size I need so we’ll how it fishes… Bend down your barb if you so desire. I highly suggest this to the newbie’s to fly fishing, it makes removing the hook from the back of your head so much easier #61514; Wrap the thread, I used black 3/0 un-waxed thread, from the front to the back right to the bend.
Step two: Grab a bunch of flashabou, color is salt and pepper, about 1 ½” long and tie in to the end… This color works well here but please adjust to your target species and size…
Step three: Tie in root beer cactus chenille, again this color works good here try different colors for where you are if this doesn’t work, and wrap the chenille up about ¾ of the shaft and tie off.
Step four: Tie in a big ol’ honkin black neck hackle, they seem to like it the woollier the better, and wrap the hackle, palmer if ya like, up the shaft to about 1/8” from the end and tie it off. I like to give it a half hitch to make sure it stays down.
Step five: Make sure you have a nice smooth head, whip finish, and trim. Apply head cement, I don’t have any so I am using super glue… hey… it works.
I like to fish this very slow and near the bottom with slow strips and twitches. I
But I met the president of the club yesterday and we fished a bit… great guy and I helped him out wiht his casting, now he is getting a little more accurate and a little more distance ( Thanks MadMike
