Bob's Comments
Notes: The display fly is not a true Oatman pattern, as the tail has
been omitted, the body lacks an obvious taper, and the wing is composed
of a light furnace hackle rather than golden edged badger (which is qute
difficult to find). However, as a fishing fly it serves the purpose
well.
Lew Oatman tied this pattern sparsely for used as a blacknose dace
imitation (cf. Bates' Streamer Fly Tying and Fishing, 1950).
