fuzzy 0 Report post Posted July 25, 2010 I have a couple questions I hope you guys can help me with. First does anyone have a picture of a Frankee-Belle fly in the original point down configuration? I have one but it is so small I can't see any detail. Next, what did the original McVay's Gotcha look like? The story is that it was made of yarn clipped from the carpet of a taxi. What was the color of the yarn? Was it used for the wing the body or both? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Rick in NC Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Report post Posted July 25, 2010 Here is a discussion of the Frankee-Belle that covers your question Frankee-Belle There was an article in Fly Fishing in Saltwater magazine several years ago that discussed the history of the Gotcha. You may want to try their web site to see if it is in the archives. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
