Catskill Style Alive??

[Byron haugh]

Hi,
My fishing buddy in Utah is more "old school" than I am. On a fishing trip a year or so ago, he asked why the shops no longer carried the Catskill style flies. I recently sent him some flies and included a couple Catskill style flies I am hoping he can use for the Fall Mahogany Duns.
I must say that his observation is fairly accurate. In the West shops, you don't find such patterns much at all anymore. Nearly all flies are either CDC or Deer Hair style. Now, I do understand the preference for lower riding flies, but also enjoy the old style.

This one is intended to represent a Mahogany Dun.
