Here is a picture of one of my favorite searching wet fly patterns I tyed up yesterday. This pattern is called the Telephone Box Dr. Burke. For all that has Ray Bergman's book "Trout", you will find the fly there on plate 8.

Here is a picture of one of my favorite searching wet fly patterns I tyed up yesterday. This pattern is called the Telephone Box Dr. Burke. For all that has Ray Bergman's book "Trout", you will find the fly there on plate 8.
Here is the pattern for this wonderful fly:

Thread: White Danville 6/0 for the under body & Black Danville 6/0 for the head
Tail: Golden Pheasant tippets
Tag: Peacock Herl
Body: Two strands of
Orange Danville floss wrapped back to front
Ribbing: one strand of Black Danville Floss
Full Collar Hackle: Brown Hen Cape
Wing: Paired Dark Brown Mottled Oak Turkey with Jungle Cock
Head: One good soaking coat of Griff’s thin, two coats of Griff’s thick & one coat of Hard As Hull cement.
Beautiful fly!
One beautiful job there
Very, very nice dressing. That rib almost looks to be two strands of black floss twisted (or furled) together. Is it just one strand twisted?
Wonderful looking fly.

Happiness is wading boots that never have a chance to dry out.
Hi REE:
That is just one strand of floss constantly twisted while winding around the body.

Nice tie! I love the old flies, both to tie and to use.
