Atlanticsalmonflyguys blog: The Evolution of the Featherwinged Salmon Flies - The Rangers continued
http://atlanticsalmonflyguy.blogspot.com/2010/01/evolution-of-featherwinged-salmon-flies_19.html
Ruminations and musings on the history and evolution of the Atlantic salmon fly, as well as showing off my own creations and featuring those tiers whose works I like. Tuesday, January 19, 2010. The Evolution of the Featherwinged Salmon Flies - The Rangers continued.

Topping plus Indian crow.

According to George Mortimer Kelson, the credit for inventing the Dandy goes to James Wright, with a time frame, according to Mikael Frodin of “middle of 19th century.”. Looking nothing like any subsequent Dandy, it is in my opinion however the prettiest of the lot. The pattern is listed as follows:. No 8 or 9.
