This pattern catches fish - period. It is an alteration of the original Klinkhamer Special tied by Hans van Klinken from Denmark. He is known the world over for his flies. He has also visited my friend Bernard Stehelin's fishing camp, Wilderness Fishing Yukon, where I visited last year and has written for his site - so we have a tenuous connection there.
