Durham
Ranger was tied by
Contributing Fly Tyer John Wood. Take a look at his
contributor page, The Flies of John
Wood, to see many more of his flies.
John's Notes:
First tied in the mid nineteenth century there is some disagreement as to the originator who was most likely Mr. William Henderson of Durham, England. This copy is tied based on the pattern as described in
Building Classic Salmon Flies by Ron Alcott © 2004.
