Interesting pattern, Norm, thanks! Did you glue the foam body to the hook shank?

Where do you get the foam bodies from?
1. Wrap the thread around the hook shank, from front to back, up to the point of the hook. The wide, pointed part of the foam body (the “big ass”) should extend beyond the bend of the hook by about 1/4 inch in length; also leave a gap of about 1/4 inch in length at the front of the rubber, to form the head there later.
2. Before attaching the foam body, make an incision under its front part, without penetrating more than half of its thickness. Later, you will put a few drops of glue on it to prevent the foam body from rotating around the hook shank.
3. Place the base of the foam body on the hook shank, pinch it to hold it in place and tie it to the tip of the hook point with several very tight turns of thread. You have just formed the "waist", in front of the "big ass". Then lift the front part of the rubber to wrap the thread forward; take the opportunity to deposit the glue in the incision already made. Then fold the front end of the rubber over the hook shank and tie it securely to its end with several tight turns of thread. You have thus formed the "thorax" in front of the "waist".
4. The two wings are each formed from a pinch of gray squirrel tail hair. The wings must not be longer than the rubber and must be attached to each side of it, forming a 45-degree angle laterally with the hook shank. Apply glue to the attachment point of the wings and cut off the excess hair. Form the head with two or three wraps of a piece of orange chenille. Place a few drops of glue on the hook shank to prevent it from slipping. Finish everything with finishing knots and varnish.
Norm I was surprised by the deviation from materials on this one, the name only more suiting. Neat fly, it’s like a hot headed beetle.

It was in 1990 that Desfossés invented the "Saguay", a streamer for fishing bass. "I wanted to create a fly using a lot of fluorescent materials: I believe that bass are attracted to what is very visible. I named this streamer "Saguay" in honor of Saguay Lafond, the son of a cousin living in Shawinigan." "Saguay" is an Indian word meaning: "the beginning of a river". This streamer, Philippe Desfossés usually throws it into the rapids and lets it drift, before bringing it back by jerks when it passes near the rocks, where the bass are on the lookout for prey.
That was a fun Google image search...
Was looking for some history on the fly, what book it's in etc. But there's nothing out there.

Nice. I sure love the look of those old school bucktail flies!

Do you wear a helmet when you cast them?
What species do you fish these for?
chuck n duck! But it beats split shot, hard enough to get a nymph into some of these turbulent holds.
