letumgo 0 Report post Posted January 4, 2008 My friend VERN-O sent me this pattern in a PM message recently and I had to give it a try. VERN-O indicated that a few years back an older fly tyer buddy of his gave him a couple "Altmar Specials" (Altmar is the town where the Lower Fly Zone is located on the Salmon River in NY state). According to VERN-O's friend, it is a very very good pattern for steelhead. VERN-O listed the pattern as follows: tail: black marabou tyed 1.5 - 2.0x hook shank body: pumpkin or dull orange chennile hackle: black or grizzly The pattern listed in the database is my best attempt to match the original pattern. I added a couple additional photos to the database showing each version (black and grizzly hackle). I can't wait to field test this pattern. Thanks VERN-O!
