What is this fly? http://montana-riverboats.com/Pages/...ies/index.html with the two tone body, and hair wings and tail, along with the dark dun hackle, it not only is an Irresistable, but a version of the original West Virginia tie for the pattern. It was supposed to be a long-floating pattern for Green Drake spinners, as I recall the story. Tom |

I was given this fly at an FFF conclave (I was tying flies) by a guy who said his father was the originator, and I think he said he was from West Virginia........some people are organized and write things down, while some people (me) know better: where the hell would the paper be two days later anyway? |

follow up.....the actual spelling(I had this wrong) was
Irrisistable, IIRC. Although not grammatically correct, this was how it was spelled. Tom |
