Second attempt looks much prettier:

O.K. I want to be with you when you run that deep for walleye. Reminds me of a tandem fly that was hot back in the 60s on the NY Finger Lakes called the Woodchuck they trolled for smallmouth. My father had a couple that I'm sure I have somewhere around here. Not as nicely tied as this, though.Kelly Galloup’s Sex Dungeon- going to give this a good run for walleye this fall.View attachment 83505
