The pattern for this fly, came from the fine book by Bruce Ferguson, Les Johnson, and Pat Trotter, Fly Fishing For Pacific Salmon. They write that this pattern, originated by Bill Nelson of British Columbia, is great when the Humpies are running. For some reason, the males seem to be attracted to the black color and the females to the white version.
