From Halford's early dries to the Catskill dry and everything else that floats on the surface.

This one has a wing that would explode with even the slightest false cast.

I couldn't find a dressing for the dry version of this fly, but there was a picture of one in an old catalog I have. I added the chenille tag and oval rib, other than that its how I see it in the picture.

This ones for you Ted...

Wow.

One night this summer, I think Ron and I will take some hallucinogenics and just sit there and watch the trails as you false cast that one. :P :P :P :P :P
