Anyone know what the heck this fly is SPECIFICALLY? I know its a conehead bugger type, but its very unique and I found it on the side of the Yellowstone in Montana. It absolutely killed browns over two days. It has an unusually large chenille which is shaved close on 3 sides of the fly, leaving an elevated dorsal line along the top of the fly.
If anyone knows where I can get this chenille or this fly, please let me know.
I believe that is an Australian fly. It's either the diggery doo or a chuzwuzzer. It worked best back in 19 diggity 3. We couldn't say twenty because the Kaiser had stolen it. I first saw it on my way to Buffalo, which is what we called New York back then. I had an onion tied to my belt, which was the style at the time. I had to take the ferry, which cost a nickel. Back then we called nickels bees. Give me 5 bees for a quarter we'd say. I got lost on my way back and met Teddy Roosevelt. We played a game of slapback, which is what we used to call checkers. I beat him and he welshed on our bet. But, the important thing was I had an onion tied to my belt, which was the style at the time.
