Good evening everyone,
I am searching for a pattern originated in Tennesee called the Thunderhead. I need a picture of it as well or even a tutorial if possible. I understand that it is a combination of Adams and Wulff style pattern but I cannot seem to find a good photo or even a pattern for it. Any folks from that area that can help me out?
Here’s how I tie them … tail can be brown hackle, body can be gray dubbing, tie in some divided wings using calf hair, and then with brown hackle make 4 turned behind wing and 3 in front of wing.

Here’s a tutorial for the Mr. Rapidan, which is similar. Just substitute the materials from the other links and you’re in business (might want to tie some Mr. Rapidans up, too; it’s a good one):
