Trude
What part of the fly pattern makes it a Trude - Or what is a Trude?
Don't know what makes a trude a trude, but all the patterns that I've seen have a white calf tail down wing.
FAOL has the story on the pattern here:

I fish trudes in Rio Grande King, royal and western coachman (peacock).
I never can remember the difference between a rio grande king and a western coachman - they're both black with white wings - right?
it's best to not speak of the trude.

I don't know, but many times I have heard and read about patterns with a "trude-style wing". I do know that a Lime Trude doesn't look like too many bugs that I've seen but it is a very good attractor.

this may be the best thread I've read here and that's the trude.
