Hot and fresh out of the kitchen its the remix.  Taking the best attributes of productive patterns and putting them into one to create a super fly(hopefully)

 

Remix:

20mm fish skull shank

6/0 uni-thread

medium dumbell eyes

orange sts tri-lobal dubbing

deer hair

silver flashabou

blue flashabou

white rabbit

SZ 4 Octopus hook

 

Length can vary depending on target species, water clarity etc. but my most popular size is around 2 1/2 inches.

 

This is a fly you will thank me for sharing and the steelhead, bass, salmon, trout will hate me for sharing.  Tie it in a bunch of colors and see for yourself.

 Shank is in vise with medium dumbell eyes and fireline trailer for hook are tied in.

 orange sts dubbing as tag(or color to match what you are tying)

 Spun deer hair or artic fox dubbing brush 2 wraps to give body to fly.

 Silver flashabou tied in at the center and pulled back on opposite side, excess flashabou tied in same way on bottom for throat. (see how blue is tied in below for better pic.)

 Blue flashabou about 10-14 strands tied in same way as silver in center of flashabou. 

 Then pulled back to cover both sides.

 Make dubbing loop for rabbit.

1. Attach Fire line to shank.

2.Tie in UV polar chenille and palmer forward, leaving space for head.

3. Orange sts dubbing in dubbing loop. Purpose of this step is to add contrast with orange dubbing and as importantly the dubbing helps give the silhouette we are looking for to the flash and marabou.

4. Two strands mirage fringe.

5. Small Clump (8-10 strands) electric blue flashabou tied in middle on near side.

6. Fold flashabou over, on opposite side and tie in.

7. Purple marabou tied in at tip, 2-4 wraps.

8. Add Pink guinea for collar, tied in at tip, 2-3 wraps, whip finish.

Attach two shanks together by passing open end of second shank thru eye of first and close first shank with thread.

Repeat steps 2-8 for finished fly. purple polar chenille.

Purple marabou.

Pink Guinea. Don't forget to add hook, size 4 gamakatsu octopus.

The Double Decker is a deadly fly and fishes well as a single fly and is a dream to cast. The addition of the second shank however adds much more wiggle and movement to drive fish bonkers. Tie up in a bunch of fishy colors and have at it, satisfaction guaranteed.
