what's a zonker?


That's what I did to my girlfriend in the back of my buddy's '59 Edsel!


Sorry girls and guys...let me duck and run for that one....but that's the way it was as a teenager .


Google "Dan Byford" if you want to research this famous fly pattern. Dan died in 2011 and the fly is his legacy. I was at a West Denver TU fly tying clinic when Dan debut the fly. It wasn't really a revolutionary new idea to many of us who had been throwing Rabbit Matuka's around, but the most impressive thing was the speed that Dan cranked this fly of his out. Bizz-zzit, faster that you can read this post, the fly was out of the vise and offered up to his audience for a look. Most impressive to me and my buds.
