I've fished the Nine-Three and the Needebah, but never really got excited about traditional flat wings. I read Ken Abrames book several years ago and immediately got hyped on his Razzle Dazzle style flatwing deceivers. I played with the style for a few seasons and really found them to be excellent for late summer and autumn bass and hybrid wiper fishing. Anywhere there's a population of gizzard shad that get to 5" long, this fly has worked.

Do you fish flatwings? I'm particularly interested in feedback from anyone who's used these for big-water trout like Great Lakes browns. I've found this is a great largemouth fly, too.

I've posted full fly tying video through iTunes or at the FFO site if you want to download them.
