Note: This is a great wet fly that dates back over 150 years. There are several variations of Butchers: Teal-Winged (barred teal feather), Gold (gold tinsel and rib), and Bloody (red hackled). The Butcher was originally named Moon's Fly, after one of the two co-inventors, Moon and Jewhurst. However, the name was changed in 1838 to the occupation of Jewhurst (a butcher). |
Silver tinsel.
