James Wright in Scotland invented this fly in the late 1800’s. He was also the originator of the Black Doctor and the thunder and lightning. It started out as a married wing fly and has evolved into a hair wing. This may not be the most popular salmon fly but it is probably one of the best traveled. It is used extensively in North America, Europe and Russia.
