About this fly
I have provided the original recipe for the Fly. Two of the original flies are pictures below. I changed a little color in the one I have tied. The Smokey Mountain Fork Tail is a Fly of myth and legend -no one is sure of its origin or creator. It's also a Fly known by many local old timers to be a consistent producer. If you are looking for a classic Fly to tie or fish just try this one.
Inside the vault every material on this fly opens to its own card, and you can save the fly to your own boxes.
