Wally-
Many, many thanks! If you don't mind my asking, where
did you find the information, was it one source or did
you have to do a lot of searching? I certainly
appreciate the time you took to dig up this
information.
My thanks as well to everyone else who replied. Nice
to see that there is still some interest in older
patterns and styles of tying. Once again, this proves
what a great list we have here and what an incredible
resource for flyfishing information of every sort.

<blockquote TYPE=CITE>Hey All-
<p>I was hanging around the local shop a few days ago,
<br>browsing through an old issue of Northwest Fly
Fishing
<br>(Summer 2001) and found an article on an old
<br>fisher/tyer by the name of Peter Schwab who fished
for
<br>steelhead around northern California and southern
<br>Oregon, mainly the Klamath, Trinity, Shasta, Rogue
and
<br>Eel.
<p>The article mentioned a number of fly patterns that
he
<br>pioneered, mostly involving bare wire bodies and
<br>hairwings. I'm familiar with one of the patterns,
the
<br>Paint Brush and have tied a couple of them up and
<br>tried them on steelies on the Deschutes. I'm
<br>interested in finding some of his other patterns,
but
<br>haven't had any luck in the usual resources,
including
<br>VFB and the FFF Fly Pattern Encyclopedia. If
anybody
<br>has any info (recipes, pix, etc) on any of the
<br>following patterns, I'd appreciate it.
<p>1.Wood Pussy
<br>2.Bellamy
<br>3.Bobbie Dunn
<br>4.Brass Hat
<br>5.Queen Bess
<br>6.Princess
<br>7.Orange Steelheader
<br>8.Van Luven
<br>9.Copper Colonel
<p>Thanks in advance for any help.
