A simple bucktail pattern devised by Taff Price and first published in his book Lures for Game, Coarse, and Sea Fishing in the early 1970s. This fairly somber fly, with just a touch of color in its make-up, proved highly successful for brown trout, although rainbows are not averse to taking it, either.
