Dotterel
This week’s Throw Back Thursday Fly is the Dotterel. It was interesting to me as I read about Thaddeus Norris (1811 – 1878). He authored The American Angler’s Book (1864) and American Fish Culture (1868) and had a significant impact of fly fishing in America.

This is one of five Atlantic Salmon flies my friend Jim Fisher purchased during his 1986 fishing trip on the river Spey in Strathspey, Scotland and the last TBT post of these Atlantic Salmon flies. You might have seen the other flies…
