About the Lord's Killer Trout Fly

This is not my fly. It was created by a New Zealander named Frank Lord. All I did was add fluorescent pink cactus chenille. It was deadly when the fish were taking the minnow.

Expert Tip:

There is a story attached to this fly on a day when it fished particularly well. I was getting ready to fish at the Maden dam, near KingWilliamsTown,when a small group of people approached me. They were part of a Christian conference in the area, and were enjoying the walk around the dam. After chatting for a few moments, they asked me what fly I was going to use. I said that seeing they were a Christian group, I would put on "The Lord's Killer" Lo and behold! First cast! A four pound rainbow took the fly.After a good fight I landed it. One of the men remarked that fishing looked easy, and that would like to take it up!
