Let me know what you find, Ian. Other than the fact that it caught fish, I
never thought much about where the pattern came from until this thread.

The carrot nymph was tied much earlier... I am looking for the reference,
but it is my understanding that the orignal carrot nymph was mentioned in a
very early english fishing magazine as a 'joke' fly, and some anglers tried
it and found it successful..
I'll see if I can find my reference..
