Great fly, Hans, but will it show up on the Fishy radar?

I can see you, Hans, fishing this fly from some clandestine spot on the river. It moves quietly through the water, but despite that it does not go unnoticed. A humongous browny wastes no time in slurping it in, and you are hooked to the biggest trout in the pool.

(Quietly) - Nice work!
