North Forker SBS

http://i1302.photobucket.com/albums/...psca96b296.jpg

Developed by Cliff Adams on Oregon's Willamette River (actually, the North Fork of the Middle Fork; guess that's where the name came from). Interesting combination of a hackled Comparadun-style wing. Supposedly a killer (not literally, I hope) cutt fly in it's day.

thread - Danville 6/0 black
tail - hackle fibers red
body - poly yarn yellow
rib - hackle (fibers stripped off one side and trimmed to 1/8" on the other) coachman brown
