Not sure if this is what you mean but I think up and tiea lot of different patterns for sea run cutthroat. I tied up one pattern thatwas particularly effective. I thought hey, I just came up with a cutthroatpattern that nobody else has. Later I purchased the book Fly-Fishing CoastalCutthroat Trout, Flies, Techniques, Conservation by Les Johnson. A great bookby the way. In the book, Chapter 9, Coastal Cutthroat Flies, is a picture of myfly. Problem is the credit is given to Summer Carson, a California tier andclaims he developed the fly in 1935 patterning off the Royal Coachman. Which, coincidentally,was the inspiration for the fly I tied. The actual fly shown is a simplified version of Summer Carson’s fly andthat version is credited to Claude Krieder. Either way apparently I wasn’t the first.
