Instructions

This fly has been
a part of Tennessee and North Carolina since white man first settles in the
area. Tying it with the original feathers is now illegal but the Starling
makes a good substitute.

Probably no other
fly is a popular on the Tennessee side of the Smokies. It was one of the
first flies I learned to tie at age 14, and it has held it's popularity.
