Thanks for posting the brochure, Lance! It's good that everyone can now see how everything came together....almost 50 years ago....

Cheers,

I was just gifted a complete Orvis Flymph Selection by my friend Dr. Jim Mead, DVM. During this holiday season I'll try to get a closeup picture of each of the ten patterns. No brochure however.

Jim also included an "Old Roan". He said that it had appeared in a Dan Bailey catalog back when.

I hope you all enjoyed these. The Black Gnat doesn't match the pattern in the Leisenring and Hidy book. It looks more like a gray hackle peacock.
