Thanks for posting the pic. I had never seen the oringnal fly before only copies tied in modern books. It was really interesting. Several things about the original jumped out at me. First, I had to go back and check in three different sources if I had the body color correct. I found all three sources had the body listed as olive and the original shows red. Also, I was surprised to see how sparse the hackle was. It looks like it was meant to be a low rider. I'm not sure if it was just a mistake by the auction house or what but I noticed they listed the fly as "Henryville" and not "Henryville Special". I wonder if there is a difference?
May be this would account for the difference in the body color of the original and the copies listed in books today. What is the body color of the flies that you fish with? Thanks again.
