    Author's Note

    In homage to the neon fashion of the late 1980s, here is a small fly that allowed me to catch several rainbows at the St-Alexis-des-Monts trout festival as well as some speckled trout in the Mastigouche wildlife reserve.

    If it was yellow it would be very close to the Professor, a fly from the 80’s…..1880’s as I recall, perhaps older

    That fly is very easy on the eyes. It will catch a lot of fishermen and fish. Nice tie, sir.
