We love the engineering that goes into fly design. The Dalai Llama is a wildy successful fly pattern initially designed for salmon and big trout in Alaska, but has become a staple streamer pattern all over since. It has a number of really cool tricks built into it, however the stinger hook is not ideal for all situations especially when stripping for big fish. We rebuilt it onto one of our favorite platforms, the 60 degree jig hook. Let me tell you, this fly is a force to be reckoned with. It hooks everything.
