WWKimba 0 Report post Posted July 25, 2022 Cornie's Quill - The design of this fly came from the mind of Cornie Schrems of Grand Rapids in the 1950' or '60's. I said that the design came from Mr. Schrems BUT he was not a fly tyer! His designs were normally tied by his friends Art Neumann or Dan Bailey and Art was the one who named this pattern. Cornie was at George Griffith's home when the first meeting was held to form TU. Hook - Mustad 94833, 14-24 Thread - black Tail - brown hackle fibers Wing - mallard flank fibers, tied upright and divided Body - stripped peacock herl Hackle - grizzly and brown Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
