    Default "Classic" line-up?

    My company is sponsoring a major non-profit event and as a way to raise money we run an employee auction of goods and services provided by employees. There are several higher-ups who are into fly fishing and I know the chairman of the board of directors is a dry fly purist. I've decided to tie up an assortment of classic dry flies and package them in a nice box to see if it'll grab someone's attention.

    I'm pretty sure I'll tie Light Cahills, Adams, and perhaps some Royal Wulffs, would anyone care to suggest some others? If you could also provide a recipe I'd be grateful.

    God bless and tight lines,

    EF

    You might wasnt to throw in some red quills for the early season hendricksons and some kind of hex pattern too if they are located here in W. Mi.
    I can think of few acts more selfish than refusing a vaccination.

    The Quill Gordon is as Classic American as it gets. Patterns for these Classics can be found in Art Flick's "Streamside Guide". John McDonalds book, "Quill Gordon" has a series of plates that would make an interesting grouping (ie. Variations on a Coachman"). Good Luck. RR

    EF,

    By "Classic", if you mean Catskill dry flies, I'd suggest you consider:
    Light Hendrickson, Quill Gordon, Pink Lady, Dun Variant, Cream Variant, Gray Fox Variant, Red Quill, March Brown, Brown Bivisible, White Wulff, 2 Feather Fly, Conover, Rat Faced MacDougal, Ginger Quill, Dette Coffin Fly, Dark Cahill.

    All these flies date back to the 'Classic' period (pre 1950). Hope this list helps.

    Allan
    All these
