Mack's Canyon was developed for the Deschutes River in 1972 by Doug Stewart of Gresham, Oregon. The story goes that at the time, it's name was spelled as "Max" to divert attention away from the Deschutes Mack's Canyon area. Other variations of this fly have been developed, including the Mack's Canyon Blue shown by Bill in this issue.
