Hi all!
I'm looking for info to be used for an article I'm writing at the moment.
Perhaps anybody out there can help me:
Years ago (I guess about 20 - 25) a German magazine called Der
Fliegenfischer (which was at that time a leading magazine in that language)
published an article about a fly called "Traun Spezial". Ever since that
time I fished the pattern and had lot's of success with it. Know I'm
intending to write an article about it, but I can't find any info about the
origin of the pattern anymore. I would be very, very pleased with a cpy or
scan of that article, and wonder if there will be a German flyfisher who
still has that magazine and will do me this favour???
The dryfly pattern is:
Tag: bright green floss or lurex
Body: peacoch herls
Wing: deerhair, tied caddis-style
Hackle: Grizzly
Any help finding the article would be highly appreciated and I promise the
finder to send him/her a nice set of well-tied examples as a reward!
BTW & FWIW: I know there's a Brunner splitcane rod with the same name.
