John,
Just curious about the string of fly’s named after ” I assume ” Quigley Down under with Tom Seleck ?
I shoot the Sharps rifles in competition and have since the movie came out and just was wondering what the “Tie Is ” no pun intended 🙂 beautiful patterns
Hey Jason
No, the flies were developed by Bob Quigley. Here is a link to one of the Throw Back Thursday posts that has a little info about Bob. https://www.johnkreft.com/quigley-film-critic/

John, do you have the recipe for Dan Bailey’s Gray Hackle?
David
Thanks for your comment. The recipe is fairly straightforward, but I’ve updated the post to reflect the fly pattern.
Hope this helps!

I saw a fly called “The Rose”. Is it a fly you created, developed & invented? I’m curious because, my Mother’s name is/was Rose. She died from complications of a Stroke on 4/29/17 & I wanted to honor her memory by tying the fly called “The Rose”, while giving proper credit to it’s originator. I am US Army, Staff Sergeant Russ Marek, Medically Retired due to an IED (Improvised Explosive Devise) & wounds received in combat during Operation Iraqi Freedom III in 2005. I am involved in “Project Healing Waters”, which is a fly fishing organization that helps injured Veterans recover from war wounds… learning something new & relaxing while fly fishing. I am asking because, I want to give the proper credit due, to the Creator, Inventor & Developer of the fishing fly. IF NOT, Could you PLEASE, direct me to the name of the person who did.
SSG Marek, Russ
Medically Retired & wanting to give credit,
where credit is due!!!
AND brag about the fly design.

Thanks for your comment about The Rose. No, I didn’t invent the fly. It is a fly from the Orvis Company and was listed in Forgotten Flies by Paul Schmookler & Ingrid Sils. You may have not seen the writeup in a TBT post. Just search my RiverKeeper Flies website and you’ll find it.
You might not have read the About Me page which states I am part of PHW as well. I teach fly tying to our Vets in Central Oregon.
I’ll send an email with more info.
Lastly, thanks for your service!
John
