Looked more like a comet. It's at the top in this photo: http://www.gapen.com/flys.html#Muddler%20Fly It may be that since the fly was meant to mimic a sculpin, that the less dense head would allow it to stay closer to the bottom. Hard to say without confirmation from the originator whether the fly was intended that way or was just tied crudely, but the fly has definitely morphed. This has a way of happening over time. Seems his son now sells dense, neatly trimmed ones like everyone else. Just like the Gray Ghosts you see sold today - a far cry from Carrie's. Perhaps because it's now what the market wants. Or thinks they want.... :-) CD
