Double Martini ? ? ?

[cklenske]

I have a student in my classroom that has gotten into tying flies, and came to me with a question yesterday. His uncle from Wisconsin was telling him that a lot of fly fishermen from his area use a fly called a Double Martini. Unfortunately, he didn't have a pattern for it. We have looked all around, but haven't been able to find it. Does anyone know the pattern, or where to find it, or have a picture of one? The kid is dying to tie some up before he goes to visit his uncle this spring.
Thanks,
CJ

I put the paddle down and half decided not to fish but to just sit and watch him enjoy himself. I couldn't resist any longer . . . I put my flyrod together and attached a small, ant-like fly called a "double martini". . . a black and red body with white legs like a spider. I have only found these flys in Wisconsin. It is deadly on Bluegills

CJ,

The one I usually use starts with a large glass of ice....

In less than 12 hours we go from a question about an obscure fly to an anecdote about effectiveness to a picture of a vintage collectable. Nice.
Thanks to all who made this such a neat thread.
