Pass Lake Special (Stubenvoll)

Hook - Mustad 3906 #8 - #16

Thread - Black

Tail - Mallard Flank

Body - Black Chenille

Collar - Brown Hen Hackle

Wing - White Calf Tail

"In Ross Mueller's book "Flies That Catch Trout", on page #39 Ross describes the Pass Lake Wet Fly. He noted that Stubenvoll tied the calf tail wing IN FRONT of the hackle. While Earl Paape favored the calf tail wing BEHIND the hackle (trude style)."

seems like for every "pass lake" out there there's a pattern that bears its name

I should really circle back to that fly. I like the wing forward version. The longer I tie the more I remember to save space at the eye.  I had tried to copy the version in Panfish on the Fly. 

Thanks for the link!

Partridge and Gold

A member was kind enough to send me some strands of white horsetail fibers.  Very easy to work with, and gives a nice translucence to the body.  I'm afraid my tying does not do the material justice.   

I need stronger cheaters when working with fine materials like this.
