Thanks Mark

Rube Cross was probably the best Catskill tier out of the legendary bunch though he was pretty ornery 

and didn’t show people his tying techniques.  Apparently he tied in his kitchen which was in the back of the house 

so when he had company over they couldn’t snoop through his stuff.  Eventually he wote and lublished some books 

but some say he purposely put some red herrings in the book with regards to his tying .

Harry Darbee had to take apart Rube Cross flies to learn how to tie 'em since Cross was well, pretty cross with anyone who wanted to learn from him.

Beautiful fly. I love fishing bugs like this in the ponds in winter. Thanks for the link, too.

Close... red floss for the body, tan marabou for the tail. Very popular pattern in my parts. I did quite well with it a few weeks ago.

I didn't even know they still made Cracker Jacks.  Or that they were still sold with that name.  BUT, after seeing this, I'm glad I haven't eaten any in a long time.
