fly from the classic bucktail of the Magog Smelt. While this fly
is featured in our Classic Fly Gallery, it also qualifies for our 
Radical Fly Gallery, as it is a new invention.
PRICE: $175.00, as this is the prototype.  Authenticity included.
This fly was featured in Rare and Unusual Fly Tying Materials: A Natural History.
