Authors Note

Mike and Bob Boudreau of Montreal, Canada, originated this pattern in 1992. They have found it to be successful on all of the rivers where it has been used. Mike wrote to me, stating, "The fly has proven to be a great success (actually a bit too successful, you can be off the river early with this one if you are not careful)." During low-water conditions they also tie this fly on fine wire (low-water) hooks down to size 12.
