About this fly
the recipe is a guess; the video is tied from the illustration in Favorite Flies and Their Histories (1892) by Mary Orvis Marbury
In the old books
Original dressing as pictured in Marbury, Favorite Flies and Their Histories (1892), Plate N, No. 109. The photo above is a later tie, not the original.
Inside the vault every material on this fly opens to its own card, and you can save the fly to your own boxes.
