This is the first fly pattern in this blog series. The Fletcher Super recipe was listed in the 1947 Fletcher's Fly Shop mail order catalog. I assume it was named by George, the founder of our shop. I also guess it was a super fly! Try it yourself! I have no history on it's beginnings and the only other reference that I can find to it is in the book Fish Flies by Terry Hellekson. I tied this sample according to the recipe in the catalog minus the jungle cock eye.
Tail - Scarlet duck quill
Ribbing - Silver Tinsel
Body - Yellow Chenille
Wing - White bucktail, Green bucktail, topped by two blue saddle hackles
Eye - Jungle cock
Hackle - Yellow
