Gonzalo,
This particular fly was tied many years ago by my friend Nils Jorgensen who now lives in Iceland.
I can't remember the construction, but it seems fairly simple. The only really special thing is the huge propeller that Nils uses in front of the fly. You can see a closer image of the fly here. It seems like a fairly plain hair and synthetics fly with soime red in it and some large eyes...

Hi Martin, great article! I'd like to know more about this pattern you are using.
thanks a lot
Gonzalo
Darren - you tie a nice looking streamer.
Thanks Don! Nice to see you here, and thank-you for the inspiration for many of the patterns.
Nice fly, great colors. Nicely tied!
the addition of the pointy red hackle (and of course the the tying skills), makes this one hell of a beautiful piece of art.
superior work bob.
yo
Piece of art - great work

Great looking streamer Steve. I'm going to tie up one, although not tandem.
Nick,
Great to see some spring action! I'm still waiting to take my first spring trip this year, but everything says that it will happen real soon now - there's something in the air!

The Hornberg is the first fly I successfully tied thirty five years ago. I have since caught more fish on it than any other fly.
ripper Bob,really like your work
You're not going to throw something that lovely in the water, I hope
Probably not this one :) I would bet this one will end up on a wall somewhere.
Yes! Beautiful work. I've got a friend who always said he'd show me how to make these, but his were never this wonderful. LOVE it!
Wow your products are really, really pretty!! Who knew?
Thanks for sharing these! I will share with my friends.
Nice flies :)
Bob, stunning fly! You outdid yourself on this one! A knock-out for sure!
Bob that fly is perfect. I have often tied and fished this fly as a wet fly but never as a streamer.... I think that will change over the next week now after seeing this.
Beautiful fly!
Beauty pics mate! That's a stellar brown!

Bob, this article is excellent. I have used a lot of schappen for throats on streamers. I am thinking that the hen feathers might work well. (although they might not be long enough for the long shanked streamers) I have a few hen capes and saddles, mostly natural. (wingless wets) Thanks for this info. I enjoyed reading this, as well as all your articles.

Amir,
If this very simple and clear sequence can't do it, I'm afraid we can't help you... Look on YouTube, Vimeo or ask in your local flyshop for help.
