The Sociopathic Sweeney Todd Fly?

Works best on cutthroat! VIA Maintoday.com Link

Sweeney Todd, the murderous barber who dispatched his customers with a flick of the razor and then had his lover serve up the remains in a tasty meat pie, but few gave much thought to whether or not it was a true story.

RS2 = Fish Crack

I tied the RS2 on my tippet for the first time last week.  I was down river from the Carbondale bridge on the Roaring Fork.  Minutes later I was deep into my backing and rumbling and stumbling down river.  While we never saw the beast, he will always be know as "Carby" (Carbondale's version of Nessy).

Rim Chung took up fly fishing 30 years ago.  Shortly thereafter he designed a fly which later evolved into the RS2 (Rim's Semblance #2).  Since designing the RS2, Rim has never used another fly.
