is it a pattern called roberts drake

 

You are very close. This pattern was developed by a friend of Clarence Roberts and this fly was named after Clarence Roberts. Actually the fly was named after Clarence Roberts' occupation.

Madsen Barber Pole? :dunno:

 

Now, You are very very close. This fly is an Earl Madsen pattern. The "Madsen Barber Pole Drake" is a mayfly pattern and this is a stone fly pattern. Commonly fished in the mid spring when we have large yellow stones coming off in the afternoon on the Au Sable. I'm very impressed with this guess as both of these flies are virtually unknown outside of Michigan.

Just for fun, Here's the Madsen's Barber Pole Drake

 

Also, for the previous Guess of the Robert's Yellow Drake, here it is

Although, the answer was here the whole time, Just did some extensive googling with the last clue you gave and up comes a topic from none other than Flytyingforum stating what fly it is and a picture! http://www.flytyingforum.com/index.php?sho...amp;mode=linear :hyst: :hyst:

 

My first guess was indeed a guess though.

ding ding ding ding. I forgot I posted this fly on here a while ago. Still, it's a tough search since I don't think it's posted anywhere else on the internet.

Nice work
