You’ve got the Irresistible, the Adams Irresistible, the Irresistible Wulff,…and then you’ve got the Rat-Faced McDougal. Not a big difference among them.
The "Catskill," a century-old Rube Cross pattern with a generic name. Among other things, Cross was known for his meticulous tying. The fall colors with the wood duck wings did it for me.

Stopped in to see Joe at trouttownflies and pick up some DS emergers. I always smile when I put one of Dennis’s patterns over a picky fish and it gets sucked down on the first drift. I’m glad his legacy lives on in the film. #DennisSkarka #CatskillFlies #FlyFishing #WildBrownTrout #catskills #6x
I’ve been working on stripped quill bodies lately. whitingfarms Coq de Leon cape feather seem to work really well so far. Though I still leave the important stuff to Charlie!

New SBS video on Harry Darby’s Two Feather Fly is up on YouTube. This is a really cool bug that has stood the test of time and throws a perfect silhouette. Kelly will walk you through the steps to tie both the original and his found link variation. Link in Bio. #slideinn #flytying #dryfly #catskillflies

Reuben “Rube” Cross wrote “Tying American Trout Lures” in 1936. Before this publication, there wasn’t a comprehensive collection of information on tying the American dry fly. It was a closely guarded secret by many fishermen, most not willing to teach another what they knew. Rube was no different, and even turned away Walt Dette when asked if he could show him his techniques.

Join us this Thursday at 7:00 PM for the next Winter Tying Session on Zoom! We’ll be starting with a classic Catskill pattern: Walt Dette’s Delaware Adams.
This timeless fly is featured in The Dettes, a Catskill Legend by Eric Leiser. Here’s the recipe if you want to gather your materials ahead of time:
Hook: Standard dry, sizes 10 to 16
Tail: Grizzly hackle fibers
Wing: Rounded grizzly hackle tips (or hen grizzly tips)
Body: Medium olive wool, palmered with grizzly hackle, slightly shorter than a true size 12 (olive dubbing fur is a fine substitute)
Hackle: Grizzly and brown mixed
Grab your materials, warm up your vise, and join us for a fun evening of tying and camaraderie. Check your email for the Zoom link.
We can’t wait to see you there! 🎣

I’m not clear on how the Beaverkill Bastard became the Rat-Faced McDougal…or exactly what spelling of the name is correct. I believe the Darbees used an additional “L” and their preference may have been Ratface McDougall. It may seem minor, but these details keep history intact. Besides, it’s a hot day, and I’ve got to feel productive.

前回のポストでタイイングスイッチが入ってしまい、10本ほど縛りました。姿勢や安定性、ウィングの角度、バランス、反り具合などなど、あれこれ考えていたらこんな感じに自己深化しました。
実弾補充ではなく、妄想しながらのタイイングは楽しいです 笑
画像①はハックル10回転.ウィング多め
画像②はハックル6回転.ウィング少なめ

This book was the first “tell all” and allowed others to finally learn the proper way to dress a fly. As to Cross’s reason for the change of heart, “Well, there aren’t very many people tying good flies-not near enough to go around-but there are a whole lot who would get a great deal more fun out of fishing if they used good flies. Maybe I can help a little by telling how I tie mine.”
Reading the original copies to me is the equivalent to listening to music on Spotify to listening to the original vinyl pressing. Of course you love the song no matter what, but to find and return to the source material and hear it the way everyone in that time heard it for the first time brings a certain magic. This magic rests in the pages of these books as well, and opening them and reading what was never read before by fishermen in that time period is an inspiration.
It reminds me of how lucky we all are that these legends made the decision to share this unique art with others.
