THIS MAY PERSIST

.. One interesting aspect of our tourist town is the diversity of visitors encountered and, the trinkets on display in the shops.
.. Rubber tomahawks and other such have mostly vanished through the years. There are still, however, a few "Davy Crockett" hats for sale and a few stores still stock feathered headdresses.
.. In a sunny break from fly flinging, with a couple of neighbors, we took a stroll 'downtown.' There, in a small jewelry store, we encountered a three-legged male wolf pelt. Pelts for sale in our village are rather rare. This one was from Canada. It had it's own license plate.

WOLF:  COARSE BACK FUR

.. We marveled at it's density of fur and the quality of the tanning. We also recoiled at the price = $1,100 dollars, (US cash money.) Long, long story short: bits were acquired by the richest of our neighbors.
.. There is, an old, traditional fly pattern that specifies bits of fur only obtainable from a pelt of this sort. One of the neighbors has a scrap of paper torn from an ancient sporting magazine with a genuine 'killer recipe' for Steelhead and spawn-run trout.

WOLF:  URINE STAINED FUR

.. The fly is often tied with substitute materials and does, in fact, take fish with excellent regularity.
.. The neighbor in question immediately abandoned our stroll to retreat to the tying bench in the alcove of his cave.
.. We present here the fly and its recipe. It is a simple pattern and, of the three flies tied, two have taken respectable fish from the Madison River in the environs near the Barns Holes.

THE ROZEE WOLFEE FLY

..Tied on a standard heavy salmon hook, (any appropriate hook will do nicely,) the fly belies its heritage from the turn of the last century.
.. The tail is grouse tail tip that is doubled. The tag is orange floss. The body is royal purple floss. The first rib is embossed gold tinsel. The second rib is medium silver twist. The hackle is yellow hen. The under wing is urine stained wolf. The over wing is wolf back hair. The name is also indicative of the time in which it was originated: ROZEE WOLFEE.
