The pattern for this fly, originated by Walt Johnson, came from the fine book by Dick Stewart and Farrow Allen, Flies for Steelhead. They write that this fly, was originated around 1963 by Harry Lemire from Washington. This fly is very effective in the shallow tailouts in the summer and fall using the greased-line technique.
