hairwing 0 Report post Posted September 7, 2015 IMHO...The fly name "Killer Diller" is the greatest of all time. It may not be the greatest of flies but that name gets me every time. Lots of memories there , and a great time in American fly fishing history to reflect on. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
