Thanks for the wonderful tie as well as the history. Another great book to check out would be from one of our modern-day flyfishing authors, Bruce Staples. His book Trout Country Flies: From Greater Yellowstone Area Masters is a very comprehensive look at some old and possibly forgotten patterns developed for western fly fishing and were certainly inspired by earlier fly tiers. Anyway, worth a look. Thanks again for the fine article, info and pattern.

Kelly.
