Yes I do..0-941130-24-X I picked my book up in a throw away bin at our local fly shop. I tried to find it on Abe books for you but I was a little surprised. I know it's not a common book but I didn't think it was a very popular book. Maybe you would have better luck on ebay.

I guess I can now tie some, which are very close to the original. The body looks always fat, therfore I guess the raffia will be the material of choice, I understand now the rib as well, I think I will try to use peacocj twisted around a tying thread for durability. For the wings.. I know that the hackle is behind the wings, the wings are pointing in an angle of appr. 45 degrees into the hook's eye direction. But I didn't know, that these wings are divided. Deb, you mention the mole fly as a fly with a body hackle. I was sure that these wings at the hooks eye are the characteristic of a mole fly. I think I have somewhere some lines in a book.... I don't know how common this book is, I do not know about it. But let me see, what amazon says about it. Do you have an isbn no. for this book?

If so it's on page 107-108 of his book French Fishing Flies Info from the book: The variants of the fly are very numerous. All flies have a point in common their wings are inclined forward at an angle of forty-five degrees over the hackles. For the majority of the Norman anglers, the original had no tails. Such a fly assumes a very unusual posture on the water (it suspends)which causes the leader to form an aerial bridge the value of which this author believes in. Hook Medium size, usual 11 - 13, black tying thread Body Natural raffia or yellow silk ribbed by the tying thread or a peacock fiber Wing Mallard flank feathers or bunches of fibers of these feathers. Variants with tails are frequently found, others have hackle wound palmer-style along the body as in the mole fly..... I hope that was helpful. There was more but I'm sure you can figure out the variants from the pictures you've found. The picture of this fly on the front of the book includes a brown hackle tied behind the mallard wing. It appears to have the yellow silk ribbed with tying thread for the body. I don't know how common the book is.

A french pattern, very common in the Normandy. Charles Ritz recommends this pattern in his book. Unfortunately he doesn't list a recipe. He was a great flyfisher and -caster, but tying wasn't his thing. Anyway, I have some pics of this fly and an idea, how to ty it. I did some googleing with English, German and French keywords, but found only pics and references to Charles' book. Has anybody a recipe or a web-site, where I can find some more infos? Rene
