I need some help Identifying a fly I bought. I bought this fly at the Cleveland Orvis Store on Chagrin Boulevard. I was looking for the name to order some but I can not find it on the Orvis Site. Any help would be appreciated.

It represents an alvin, but I don't know what the name of the fly pattern might be. If you call and ask for an alvin imitation, they may know what you are looking for.

Very similar patterns go by the names of Burman's Candle Robber Alevin, or Leon's Fritz Alevin. You can find images of these on the net.
