This is Morlock's Goby as we tied it in the other night. Kevin Morlock is a fly fishing guide with www.indigoguideservice.com/Guides/Kevin/.
This is the link to Kevin's recipe for this fly.

Materials:
1 Tiemco TMC size 4 2X strong 5X short hook.
2 cheap size 6 or 8 short shank hooks for articulated sections.
UTC 140 Rusty Brown thread.
Wapsi medium yellow dumbbell eyes.
1 upper center back pheasant feather for tail.
4 or 5 medium small pheasant hackles for tail section.
(2) 6 inch sections of 20# Power Pro or another braided casting line for joints.
2 or 3 medium pheasant hackles for center section.
1 or 2 large pheasant hackles for head section.
A pinch of yellow marabou.
Spun deer hair for head and collar.
We didn't have the Tiemco 105 on hand so we used this Mustad 94840 size 6 for the head section. This might be a bit light for a big carp.
Lay a base of thread to the end of the shank.
1 upper center back pheasant feather for tail.
Tie in tail feather on top of hook shank as shown. I have my vise turned sideways to get a better picture. You are looking straight down from the top.
This is a medium small pheasant hackle feather.
Leave an 1/8" space between the tail feather and each hackle feather you wrap around the hook shank. This will allow movement of the fly.
Wrap back over the hackle to lay it towards the rear. Tie in next hackle an 1/8" in front of the previous hackle.
This is the completed tail section with the hook cut off right where the straight shank starts to bend. It is easier to leave the hook in the vise and cut it because out of the vise the hook point has a tendency to go flying never to be found until you step on it.
6 inch section of 20# Power Pro or another braided line threaded through eye of tail section hook.
Second cheap hook in the vise with a base of thread. Two soft loops to capture the braided line.
Position the tail section close to second hook before securing. Secure braided line to hook shank. You don't want this connection to loose or to tight. Just so there is some movement but not flopping all over the place.
In this picture the middle segment is done and secured to the head section hook. Notice the hackle feathers are a little larger than the tail section hackles. Take note of the braided line connection to get an idea of how snug you want this.
In this picture the head section has one large hackle feather, a pinch of yellow marabou and dumbbell eyes attached.
In this picture I have a pinch of natural deer hair with the tips lined up to form the collar and the rear head section. I could have cut the root of the hairs a little shorter to save some trimming. This was my first time working with deer hair.
In this picture I have spun a section of hair behind the eyes, figure 8 wrapped a pinch or hair over the eyes and spun a section in front of the eyes.
This is what Krebs goby looked like after trimming. Keep in mind that this fly rides hook point up when you are trimming the head. I was thinking hook point down when I trimmed but it still looks fishable. Have fun tying your own and cry a little every time you break one off because they take a long time to tie.
