I found this pattern on another forum and decided to try it, as it had worked for many other folks. I have seen it tied many different ways and in various colors.
In the Atlanta area, the RLD is a mainstay when fishing for warm water species. It was originated by Carter Nelson, when he was the fishing manager with Callaway Gardens south of Atlanta. Callaway is a great resort with some outstanding bream and bass fishing. Pound bluegills are not uncommon for guests there.
Thanks for info Uncle Jesse. Did not know who originated it.

I am pretty sure Carter is the originator of the fly.
Nice fly!!!
