Russell's fly

[oldster]

Russell was one of the best fisherman I ever met. He used 2 files, a dry and a wet. the wet was tied with the same materials as the dry, about a size 8, and weighed. the dry was a 14 or 12. I have posted a copy of the dry. With these two flies, Russ always caught more fish than I did. Russell taught me a lot. The best: It isn't the fly, it's the presentation!
