Skip, that's a good lookin fly, and the red eyes really set it off. gonna check that site and see how it's tied. The other fly that really produced for me, on the crappies and bream was called the green weenie. lol no kidding It was tied with medium chartruese chenille on a #10 streamer hook. It was a mustad hook about 3/4 inch long. You tie a 4 inch piece of chenille in at the rear of the shank and make a 1/4 inch loop for a tail and secure the chenille the second time in the same spot, then you wrap toward the eye, and make your head with black thread. It simply looks like a one inch chartruese worm, and it will sink slow. I use one inch strips for a retrieve. For crappie I tie it on a chartruese 1/32 ball jighead with no collar,and chartruese thread. It sinks down in deeper water, and I use one inch strip retrieve. When the line looks like it's hesitated while your stripping, set the hook. One trick I use is to take the loop tail and twist it tight, this makes it straight like a stick. you can look this fly up on the web, thats where I found it. Green Weenie, is awsome on crappie, and it needs trying on a 1/64 head I think.
