Notes:
The Thunderhead is a popular, high-floating attractor dry fly from the Great Smoky Mountains, developed by Fred Hall, resembling an oversized, bushy Adams Wulff with a deer hair tail and calf hair wings for excellent visibility and buoyancy, making it ideal for fast, freestone streams and effective for general mayfly imitation, especially with a dropper nymph.
