The tying sessions EP:33 RAMSEY'S CYCLOP

An other top water pattern, this one was originally designed for taimen if i'm not mistaken. It represents a dying baitfish flapping on the surface. The action is a mix between a skid and a popper. Normally used in rivers this fly will feel at home on stillwater too. I have fished this fly for pike in the margins and over weedbeds with good success and i'm sure if tied in different sizes it will tempt many other predators from bass to GT and peacock bass.This fresh batch if coming with me for the Guyane trip!

As usual feel free to change colors and hook size. For pike i like to use the Sakuma Mantas and for more exotic  species i always trust a good Gamakatsu SL12S.
