There are a lot of fly tiers out there, and there are (so far) no
insult fests
in this group. You'd think it would get more traffic.

Here (link below) is a forgotten fly that still works. This got me
thinking about forgotten flies.
I'm going to make a bunch this summer, and see if they still work:

The Bi-Visible, Renegade, Gray Hackle Yellow, Professor and Red-tagged
Woolly
Worm are flies that used to be in every shop in Montana--that you
never see
anymore.

I'd add Bloody Butchers (cool name,) Grey Hackle Peacock and the Potts
flies to your list as popular flies in CO during that period. I still
fish Renegades and Bi-Visibles.
