The Professor was originally tied as a trout wet fly a long time ago. It has made a nice transition to the warmer waters of the Midwest and is a very productive panfish fly. Originally tied with Goose Shoulder for the tail (actually Ibis) this version is tied with Rooster Saddle hackle fibers and make the fly a little more durable for greedy little panfish. If you are looking for a good introduction to tying wet flies The Professor is a great place to start.
