The idea for this fly was hatched in Sweden by Zsigmond Kovacs as a way of showing the fish a light and dark colored fly at the same time. As the fly approaches the fish on the swing, he will see one color of the fly. When the fly passes the fish, it will see a different color of the fly. Hopefully one of the colors will trigger a strike.
