Lindsey's Comments:
This fly pattern was originated by Austin S. Hogan, the
founding director of the American Museum of flyfishing in Manchester, New
Hampshire. He was noted for his use of color and the blending together of
colors. As exemplified in this fly he also employed hackles which had the
bottom half removed. Such an approach emphasizes the whiteness of the
belly.
