Notes: Pattern developed by Craig Mathews and John Juracek. The fly actually has it's roots in another no-hackle fly known as the Haystack by Fran Betters in the 1930's. Fran developed this pattern for slow-moving waters that were usually spring-fed. He noticed that under these conditions of clear visibility and slow movement that the fly imitations needed to be much improved for the selective trout that inhabited these waters. He used a wing of deer hair that flared in an arc so that the lowermost hairs supported the fly in the surface waters. The body was also heavily dubbed to help keep the fly in a horizontal position and had bunched deer hair for the tail. | |||
