Hello Eldi...

 

Very nice work.  

 

If this is a recreation of the original pattern designed by Ray Bergman then I would like to add some background .  There is an original pattern from Bergman which he designed in 1927 called the BASHERKILL.   

 

On page 137 of Just Fishing (Ray Bergman, 1942 ed.), he wrote, "Often in May I have been on a stream during a hatch of greenish yellow flies. The Baskerkilll serves me well under these conditions."

 

This is the recipe that I have found...

 

Tail...gold olive

body...pale olive green

wings...wood duck

hackle...same as tail

Thanks Ted. I like the sound of that fly.

This was taken from the "The classic dry fly box" (I think that was the book) by Mike Valla, I got to tie some with him just a few weeks back on the WoodsTorrt in Sweden.

Thanks Eide! Sounds great. It's really nice to see you tying traditional dey flies. They look very nice. Teddy and I would fish with them!!
Hope you're doing well.

so i called valla and here's the story...mike saw a photo of a trout caught in the BashAkill river  a while ago and made this pattern up.   so this has nothing to do with Bergamn's BashERkill.. cool stuff
