Such a beautiful fly. I am not sure if it would be more appealing to the fish or the ladies!

Comment to #362 - Ace of Spades
"The Ace of Spades" was originally named by the late U.K. pro-tyer, Dave Collyer, The dressing is. 4/10 l.s. hook, blk thread, dressed Matuka style, with 2 pairs black cock or hen hackles (back to back) over a black chenille body ribbed with silver oval tinsel. A "crown or overwing" of bronze mallard fibres with natural guinea fowl false hackle. This can be weighted &/or beaded if desired & has taken a lot of fish since it's inception back in the 1960's when it was first published in the now de-funked "Angling" magazine where Dave had a monthly column. It was also in his first book "Fly Dressing"

It seems that Mr.Schmookler didn't do much, if any research on any of the U.K. patterns in Forgotten Flies, as I don't recall any of them being correct.

A very nicely tied fly, but why did he and many other tiers place the barred rabbit with the bars facing up? Don't salmon and steelhead come from below to take a swinging fly, I know tarpon are almost always coming from below to take a fly.
