The name of the fly is the Couch EC baitfish.

Wiperhunter, yes that is the one. Thanks for posting the link, I wasn't able to get it to work earlier. I'm looking for a fly that has a good profile that has more movement than an EP style fly. Something to use in the gulf coast or Willard.

[Sad] Oops - my bad. Looks like you have got your answer. BTW Here's a UTube video on tying the bait fish.

I took out a member a few years back that was using a fly just like that while we were trolling. All he did to give it action was to pump the rod. On one of the times he gave slack in the line, as it was going back, a wiper slammed it. As long as you are moving that fly, I'm sure you will have a chance to catch a wiper and I would think pumping the rod will give it more action than you think.

I was looking through my flies and the closest one that I had to the Couch EC was a clouser. If one tied in a grizzle hackle, I would think that it would achieve the same results.

Great idea Ted, I bet that would work.
