the Maid of the Mill 1889 A Mr. L.O. Lownsdale of Portland Ore. is credited for producing this pattern. This is first known Summer Steel head pattern fashioned from local Northwest materials. In a letter from 1889 he complains that the "encroachment of civilization" has robbed the Northwest of its good fishing. Some complaints never seem to change. To get away from the crowds he would hire a mule packer and hike to Tillamook Bay, fishing as he went. This fishing trip would last for three months.
