I remember learning to fly fish 30 years ago on Staffer Creek ran into an elderly unusual fly fisherman who carriers a fly tying kit with him. In his vest. He showed me how to tie a fly. This guy could whip up any type of fly in minutes. While chatting he made me 2 fly’s told me to try them some where else! I did on Prairie Creek later in the fall and caught myself a small brown trout.
The fly fishermen I met gave me some other advice “Don’t fish Stauffer until I knew what the hell I was doing!” Like I said odd but friendly sort of way.
I never gave up fly fishing that summer or fall, I did get better too.
OP that’s a helluva good looking fly. You’ll be hooked I’m sure.
