FlyMaker 0 Report post Posted September 25, 2016 I just happened across a picture of this simple, elegant fly pattern and it is labeled as an Alder-Fly-Nymph. When I search on that pattern, I get the classic Alder Fly patterns and not this one. Can someone please help me properly ID this pattern? Also if anyone can post info/history on it that would be great too. Are those feathers Lemon Wood Duck? It really has my curiosity up! Thanks Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Very cool push-me-pull-you pattern; weird that it came up as an alder fly. Regards, Scott Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FlyMaker 0 Report post Posted September 25, 2016 Thanks Very Much Scott. Bingo-you nailed it. I would have never guessed the origin and use as a steelhead pattern. Though I live in the Mountain West-I have had the occasion to fish the Salmon River in the Pulaski, NY! My river walker didn't have that fly in his box-for sure. I'm going to try these on Trout locally. Again-thanks for nailing this for me. Rich Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
