Chapter 58 Day 128 - Trout Season

Final Clue(s) For Mystery Fly

Everything for the 1st Annual One Fly Tournament is in high gear now.  Yes... Mother Nature seems to want in on the action also, but we're not going to let that stop us from going forward.  There have been certain steps taken to make this event as pleasurable as it can be and there are a lot of people behind the scenes making that happen.

We can always adapt to the situation we are given... remember that contestants. 

Here are the final clues for guessing the mystery fly.

The name of this fly might be found on the menu of one of those quirky upscale restaurants.

This fly was also listed in 1895 in the book Yorkshire Trout Flies. 

And, this fly also imitates a diving adult caddis or sunken mayfly spinner.

Barry, I have been a long time reader of your great blog. After living in Paul's Valley, Ok. for the majority of my life, I now live in Denton Texas. I fish the Blue probably a half dozen times per trout season. I met Charley in the catch and release area a couple weeks ago.we had nice conversation about fly fishing and catching carp on the fly.
I am not a contestant in the one fly but I have a guess on the fly that will be used. It's got to be the Birds Nest. Good luck on the one fly. I need to enter the one fly next year and meet more you guys. I am now a retired teacher from Ok. and Texas and have plenty of time on my hands. Keep up the good work on your blog and being an advocate for the Blue.

Alan,

Wish you could be at this first One Fly, but like you said there is always next year. Glad you got to meet Charley - he is a rare bird and a true treasure to me. Thank you for your guess on the mystery fly. You'll find out whether your guess is correct soon - just watch for a blog post. See you on the Blue someday Alan.

Barry
