It might be a Ray Bergman Fly from his collection. if you type in "Ray Bergman collection" (including quotes) in the little search bar at the top of the page it should pull up his collection.

Thanks for the replies guys!

To give you a little more information. I got this picture from the front of John Gierach's book, The Grave of the Unknown Fisherman.

In A.Courtney Williams 1949 book (The dictionary of trout flies).

it looks like a fly simply called stone fly special.
