When I started tying, back in ’75, the patterns that most interested me could be found in the plates in Ray Bergman’s classic tome “TROUT”. They were wet flies. I still use them. Here is a good source for some of these classic patterns: FETED GREEN at: Rare and unusual PT/TB

- “Those anglers who think trout will take no fly unless it is an exact imitation of some one of the immense number of flies they are feeding on, must suppose that they know to a shade the colour of every fly on the water, and can detect the least deviation from it – an amount of entomological knowledge that would put to shame the angler himself and a good many naturalists to boot”.

Stewart was said to be an old grump that didn’t hesitate to yell at people who didn’t share his opinions. just to be on the safe side, from now on i’ll tie all my flies in either fashionable Black or in multi-colored swirls as this Starl’-Wing Cripple so the fish can [...]Marc Fauvet
