WWKimba 0 Report post Posted August 5, 2022 Killer Diller - There are at least 3 other fly patterns using this same name! This pattern was developed by C. L. Batchelder from Kalamazoo, MI sometime after 1970. C. L. was known as a fine fly tyer and fly fisherman. This is a great pattern if you have a lot of badger dry fly hackle on hand as it the only material used to tie this pattern! There is also a version of this fly that substitutes furnace hackle - again, a one material fly. This is best fished at night by skittering it across the water's surface as it is taken as a large stonefly or moth imitation. Hook - Mustad 94840, 6-8 Thread - black Tail - 2 badger hackle tips, tied split Body - badger hackle heavily palmered then trimmed Hackle - badger hackle, untrimmed Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
