By Bob Petti

|
Possibly
the most famous of all spey flies, the Lady Caroline.
|
Definitely
the Lady Caroline is one of the all time classic spey flies. Heck,
it's well known as a killing salmon fly in general. One of the
oldest spey flies, it is still used today. The combination of
materials and the classic styling make it one of the most attraction
flies I've ever encounered.
