From The Weekly Fly:
“This one from Boot’s Allen out of Driggs Idaho. He also guides in the Jackson Wyoming area on the Snake river and other waters. Boots Allen is a published author of several books on fly tying and fly fishing in the west and around the world. This attractor pattern is inspired by the Turk’s Tarantua and the Madam-x flies that resemble stone flies hatching.”
