That's just a big ol' shad! That pattern is actually just a slight modification of a pattern from steveks. He uses estaz or something similar for the body. It does catch fish though! If you go back, I've caught a bunch of shiners on an unweighted yellow boa yarn leech before. Shiners and shad are both stinky things... Great for cut bait!

if this one is big what's tha average size for these smelly piscadors?

I can't say about fly fishing but there's a lot of feed lots in Kansas.

Wes: According to my fish book the threadfin shad grows to about 8 inches and the gizzard shad to 15 inches.
