To Honor Lee Wulff

[Byron haugh]

I got blasted for my expressed belief that Lee Wulff's style and size of flies would not be as productive today as they were 60-70 years ago.

Anyway, he is still one of my hero's.

So, I am trying to tie some smaller version of the Wulffs for today's PMD hatches - not literally "today", but in this time period v. 70 yrs. or whatever ago.

I have tied one with brown bucktail and one with brown calf hair. Think one of these will work? They are size 14 std. dry fly.
Thanks,

Byron

Really like them Byron... and yes they will catch fish.... very nicely tied.

Wulff patterns will always occupy spaces in my fly box. I've been tying them ever since I started in the late 60's.

One of the best days I ever had fishing for specks was with this pattern...coachman_001.JPG

Tig, would I be correct in assuming that Specks in Ontario refers to Brookies and not Crappie?

Thx,
Ed

Great looking fly Byron. Did you use a vise? Remember , Lee Wulff could do that with out one...incredible.

No, not done sans vise, but without talent - maybe even more incredible!

[texfly]

No , you definitely have talent , that fly shows it. I think that Lee Wulff would approve.

[Byron haugh]

Too kind. Thank you. Really wish I could have fished with him

Byron, these flies are wonderful. Great job.
