I'd rather call it "black alien" Trygve....don't know why this fly makes me think of the monster

It makes you think of a monster (

) JP because it could catch a monster fish when cast to the right spot.

Trygve: Another great looking fly! The hot melt really changes the appearance of it.

Very cool! I'm guessing you smushed it down with moistened fingers once it cooled a bit?

This is a HOT tip from me. (Be careful, it need some practice to do it right - start with a small amount melted glue )
If I use the salvia from my mouth on my finger(s), then I will never burn my finger. I form it at once after I put the melted glue on the fly. I melt the end of the glue-stick with a lighter.

Hi Everyone,

I recently saw an episode of Mythbusters where they stuck there hand into a pot of molting lead and didn't get burned. The would stick their hand into a bucked of water and then into the lead. They didn't dally but they did do it. The water formed a barrier between the molting lead and their hand. I bet the same principle is working here with Trygve and his molting glue procedure.

They must pay those guys really well. I'm pretty sure no one could have talked me into that!!!!

That's really an excellent looking fly! I was thinking about a wooly bugger last night, but without traditional hackle, and then I see this....
