Looks like it has a fair amount of pheasant tail in it (LOL it's been WAY long for me looking at any flies so I have no idea to be up front). Doesn't look like a patriot. Not a carey special either with the wet palmered hackle (not sure what feather that is) and thread-looking body.
Maybe a catskill wet variant?
Has to be a ton of guys that are more up to speed on that one. Someone speak up!
Edit- looks like nope the catskill apparently it has a golden pheasant tail.
Gadzooks, I couldn't even tell the difference between a cluster of stripped pheasant tail feather pieces and mallard soft feathers.
Well it was fun seeing some of the real old-school Ray Bergman collection plates again anyways so thanx for the thread
Identifying patterns is not my specialty. However, I am pretty good at thinking about fishing while at work.
Catskill is a very similar fly. I bet they both catch fish. :thumb: View attachment 43323
