Janet-
Posted this question to another FF list (Westfly) that includes forums in Washington and Oregon (I think Westfly's been mentioned a couple of time before on the VFB list. Nice bunch of folks.) The originator of the pattern is Paul Lasha who lives (lived?) in the Yakima, WA area. Below is a reply that I got on the Washington forum bulletin board. Sounds pretty much like the same pattern that got posted here a couple of times. Don't know if this is of any help or not.

Mr. Lasha made a video that is (was anyway) available at Gary's Fly Shoppe in Yakima. Also, you will find the pattern on page 25 of "Fly Patterns for Stillwaters" by Philip Rowley.
Basically the pattern, according to Rowley, is:
Hook: Tiemco 100 or 101, #12-18
Thread: color to suit
Tail: Teal flank feathers or a grizzly hackle tip
Butt: White ostrich herl, Sparkle Yarn or Antron
Shell Back: Elk or deer hair
Body: Super Fine or rabbit dubbing

Does anyone know a pattern called "Lasha Raccoon"? It's described as a hatching midge, but I can't find a picture or pattern anywhere. Thanks!JanetSchimpf's Nymphs
