Fly's story....

I've used this pattern on NY States Salmon River and in BC Canada with very good success.  It's a spin off or easier version of a Lady Caroline.  The Artic Fox wing creates nice movement in the water.  Really an easy tie and one that has great colors for clearer water, but works well in dirty water too.
