The Duck Lake Special certainly isn't a forgotten fly in Idaho.

The one time I fished the Duck Lake Reservation (Lake Billy Shaw) I
tried the Duck Lake Special, but didn't have much luck with it. I had my
best success with a Skip's Nymph drifted (by wind drag) through the
drowned sagebrush. That was deadly.


Idaho seems to hang on to traditions longer. There are more
wooden driftboats in Idaho, per boat owner, than even Oregon,
where they came from. I haven't seen a Duck Lake Special in
a Montana Fly shop in years.
