Wes, I have tubs of flies that are not sorted . These are flies given to me by the original tyers. I have tyed at a number of shows with Tom and he gave me an original Pig Boat about 21 years ago. I would not know where to find it now except going through the plastic tubs that I have the flies in. Due to some problems I have, I am not able to do that. Looking at the photo, I am pretty sure it is not the original. I sat next to Tom many times and watched him tie that fly. I recently sold my book collection so I can't look it up. I had Tom's books.

I almost positive he never tied anything with a cone head.

Sent: Tue, Jan 7, 2014 5:57:36 PM Hi VFB, I am researching the origins and possible original recipe (if this is actually a Tom Nixon creation) for this fly: http://chemprof.tripod.com/midnite2.htm Is this a Tom Nixon original tied in the way he did it, or a variation created by someone else that is distantly related to Nixon's creations? I know that Nixon did the Calcasieu Pig Boat, but am wondering about the pedigree of the pattern configuration linked above. Anybody know?
