Also, Brooks didn't introduce them in "Trout Fishing" - they had
been mentioned in print since the 60s. Pobst, the developer, gives the
most complete treatment in his "Fish the Impossible Places: The Story of
the Keel Fly."

TC,

thanks for pointing that one out. I meant to, myself, but got distracted by
the Sage of Fawn Lake. You've mentioned these designs a couple times. Have
you ever
tied/used them?? I was never too impressed by them, functionally, but to be
honest, my only real trials came years ago, and I might be a tad more adept,
both at the tying and fishing of them nowadays.
