This fly was designed after deep contemplation and perusal through Paul Schmookler's book on the Flies of Maj. J. P. Traherne.

What to note is the way the Sides cover the front edge of the Wing. This allows the dresser to actually cut away fibers from the wing to allow the Crests to fall appropriately. To be true to tradition, this Wing must be mounted straight, else, when fished., this fly will whirl like a propeller.

If you try to dress this fly, enjoy the journey! The trip is well worth taking!
