Blue Bi-Visible
A pattern in the first Dette catalog. A variation of the Brown Bi-Visible. Bi-Visibles were very popular at the time. This example is tied in the style of the time using the hackle tips for tails. The technique to tie this fly is to tie two measured hackle near the front of the hook for the body hackle. They are then wound the hackle backwards towards the bend, and secured in the back. Once both feathers are secured, the thread is wrapped to the back hackle to the front of the hook where the font hackle is then attached....
Anolomink
The first pattern in the catalog. The Anolomink likely named for the town in Pennsylvania, where Broadhead Creek flows through. It is a possible imitation of the Black Quill, Leptophlebia cupida.
Gordon Quill
A pattern that has stood the test of time and is considered my many to be the quintessential Catskills dry fly. Originated by Theodore Gordon, the father of the Catskills style of dry flies.
