The pattern for this fly came from the fine book by Dick Stewart and Farrow Allen, Flies for Steelhead. They write that this fly was originated by Ronald Van Iderstine, an Oregon Steelheade guide, hence the initials in the name. It can also be dressed with a forebody of purple green, or light-orange.
