I developed these flies many years ago while working on a new emerger pattern. As a young man many years ago I was mainly a dry fly fisherman. There weren?t many books out at that time that dealt with fly fishing patterns. Most of them at that time were wet flies. Funny thing about these old classic pattern they all caught fish.
Kit, great article and some great flies. I love this pattern. I tie a similar one with the only exception being a Pheasant-tail abdomen and a gold rib; works great on the PMD hatches in a size #16. Thanks for sharing.
