A nice blend of materials that trout & salmon love . Originally known as the (Connecticut River Dick,) this versatile bucktail streamer fly has an interesting history. In 1928 the fly was developed by Dick Eastman a fly tyer from Groveton, NH. The story goes that he was the camp manager and was tying flies at Camp Idlewild on the Second Connecticut Lake in northern New Hampshire. This particular fly went through a couple iterations and proved to be a “real killer” – according to Dick – on trout. Back in 1956 the late Jessie Scott, a Game Warden, wrote about the fly and expressed that over time the pattern had many changes made to it. He went on to include the original fly recipe and that in his opinion this original was the more productive.
