There's an old pattern called the Carrot Nymph.....i use to tye them and fish for Brookies with it. Works great, but a Brookie will take anything orange. Your fly/tye there is fantastic.

I am completely "gobsmacked" by the fly and photo Karsten. You've raised the proverbial "bar". Incredible...

Zowie! That is amazing.
Some of the same morons who throw their trash around in National parks also vote. That alone would explain the state of American politics. ~ John Gierach, "Still Life with Brook Trout"

Cheers everyone, I had a lot of fun with this one.
I'll let the trout or grayling be the judge of it's edibility on my next outing.
There are few things I'd change after looking at the photo's. For one I would taper the body a bit in the next fly and iron out some of the lumps in the body

. Macro photography shows everyting, but hey it's all fun as far as I'm concerned...

Skues devised a Carrot Nymph as a joke many years ago, trouble was it actually caught fish.
I don't know if this is the one Mark used, but here is the recipe.
Carrot Nymph.
Hook: Size 14 - 16.
Silk: Primrose silk.
Tail: Green parrot feather-fibres or substitute.
Tag: Four turns of tying silk.
Body: Rear third - pale yellow wool, middle third - hot orange wool,
thorax - greenish seal’s fur.
Hackle: Short fibred olive-green hen.

Thanks for the recipe Donald. I don't have the materials to tie it so I'm glad Ray has beaten me to it
Here's Ray's rendition of the pattern description shared by Donald;
