Hi all,

According to Richard Talleur in "Mastering the Art of Fly-tying", the Gray Ghost was a Carrie Stevens pattern she first tied on July 1, 1924. She tied it for trout, and that very same day caught a 6 lbs 13 oz brook trout on her first version, which she intered in the yearly Field and Steam contest, winning second place. Thus, a trout pattern, first tied in 1924.

Regards,
