Hello all! Can anyone please help me with my search? I am interested in locating books, web sites, etc. where I can find the true historical information for classic fly patterns. You know....who invented the pattern, when, where, what it is used to catch and all of that. The reason I ask this, is that I am trying to compile true fly history and have come across magazine articles that are sometime very conflicting, eg; one article indicated the Muddler Minnow was created in 1950 while another indicated 1937. I have used what I could find here at FAOL and would like to find more info. Any preferred publications or sites where I might get the truth?
