I have seen that pattern on another site. It's called a: JB ISO DUN Guy over there has been tying it for years, the JB guy originated it. Over there they love that fly!

The fans, tiers, spectators, kin-folk, mercenaries, lumberjacks, dudes, sallys, and a short guy named Gus, took the time to vote for their favorite fly from the entries in the "Best of Fest, Fly Contest" at Fly Fest 201O. So without further adieu, and respecting all formalities, here are your...

Legendary Adirondack angler/tier Fran Betters passed away yesterday on Sunday morning. More information is to follow in regards to services and such. Sad news, as another icon is lost. Dropkick

AKSkim, I feel your pain, and I am likewise afflicted.
