Pete, I had a Hank Roberts ‘Domino Nymph’ years ago, looked like the 
black-topped white-bottomed flies you see here, but without any hackles.  
Worked great in small Wyoming creeks.
I had the weave down at one time, but that was decades ago, would have to start 
over. I tied them with a tapered lead wire front thorax underbody that I 
squashed with a needle-nose, then wove over it. Not sure if that was what Hand 
did, but the fly looked right and sank well in holes.
This may be what he was using, with or without the hackles.  Don

Anyone ever hear of a pattern called a "Hank Roberts White Gloved Howdy"? 

Passed by my local pond and saw another fly fisher there (rare) just reeling 
them in (very rare), hand over foot, thankfully catch and releasing or I'd need 
to find myself a new local pond to fish - he was catching that many - but when 
I stopped by to ask what he was using, he gave a sly grin and said an older 
pattern called the "Hank Roberts White Gloved Howdy".  I shouldn't be as 
surprised as I am, but seeing as it was a fellow who looked fresh out of 
puberty, pimples and all, I was a bit surprised he was using an older pattern.  
He never did let me get a look at the fly, so I'm on a "quest" of sorts, to 
find a pattern recipe and example photo to get an idea of what the end product 
should look like and how to tie it.

Thanks, gang, any help is appreciated!
-Pete
