The Bashakill

This Bashakill, a fly Mike Valla came up with, ribbed with olive (as the original was tied) and red floss. 

Mike Valla says about this fly:

"... not to be confused with Bergman's similarly named dry fly--Basherkill. It has nothing to do with Bergman. As I wrote in books, it goes back to my 8th grade library, and (Larry) Koller's 'Treasury of Angling' book. My absolute favorite, since I was just getting into fly tying back then. He has a photo in his book of a large brook trout---taken at "Basha's Kill. I tied the pattern in honor of Koller."

More about the Bashakill can be read in Mike Valla’s book ‘The classic dry fly box’ with many known and lesser known Catskill dry flies.
