This week’s Throw Back Thursday Fly is the Water Boatman TBT.

Peter Bowers from the Patient Angler in Bend taught this fly during a Central Oregon Flyfisher’s Winter Fly Tying class a couple of years ago. He said the Water Boatman was a fly tied for Lake in the Dunes many years ago.
I wish I knew the origin of the fly.
I tied one for John Shewey, editor of Northwest Fly Fishing magazine. An article about Water Boatman flies is in the latest edition (July/August 2017).
Enjoy…go fish!







Hi John,
